Brisbane Airport Corporation website glitch mistakenly cancels Tiger flights
CONFUSION for Tiger Airways this morning after the Brisbane Airport website displayed a series of flight cancellations for the budget airline. Tiger only resumed flying on a reduced schedule on August 7 after being grounded for over a month because of safety concerns.
A Brisbane Airport Corporation spokeswoman said this morning's problem was their website which was displaying Tiger's original schedule.
``Tiger is flying its reduced schedule and the website is still showing the original schedule,'' she said.
``We're fixing the problem as we speak.''
Tiger's Communications Manager Vanessa Regan said the website glitch had not caused the airline any problems that she was aware of.
``I've briefed airports and check-in staff so they know what's going on,'' said Ms Regan.
``Basically the flights that are scheduled since we resumed flying on August 7 are flying on-time. The flights being displayed as cancelled on the website are not scheduled to operate at this time.''
She urged anyone with concerns to contact Tiger but the Brisbane to Melbourne flights scheduled for today would continue as planned.

Was it really only the BAC website that had it cancelled??
Very few passengers would have even known if the media hadn't published a story on it. If they look at any site before heading to the airport surely it would be the airlines website.
