Australia grounds Tiger over safety fears
TIGER Airways Australia's wings have been clipped.
In a surprise announcement on Saturday, Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (Casa), citing safety concerns, suspended the budget airline's domestic flights for five working days with immediate effect - the first time an entire airline has been grounded.
Tiger, which has rejected the aviation safety watchdog's charges, said its international flights between Singapore and Perth are not affected.
According to this newspaper, The Straits Times it's no big problem. If it was Jetstar it would be front page news. Living in denial is par for the course for the island state. No wonder A J likes doing business with them.
