In addition to the Tiger problems in Thailand and the Philippines the big problem is in Australia.
Since Tiger began Australian ooperations in 2007, the airline has run up losses of approx. $80M to 30 June 2011. This is of major concern to CASA and the opportunity to reverse the financial situation has been diminished due to the CASA requirement for further staff such as a Safety Manager and Maintenance Control personnel.
Should and I stress should Tiger recommence operations in Australia I doubt it will be on 1 August 2011. Their passenger loadings will be pathetic without any lead time to sell seats.
I suspect we may see an A320 leave the fleet very soon.
