TigerAir debacle
Tigerair Australia new Bali service awaiting Indonesia approval
Ferrying empty 737 aircraft on international routes sounds like a great way to chew through cash fast. Lucky the management just got given a loan.......

Is the Indonesian Government still upset with the Australian Government?
Clearly a Political delay.
In retaliation we should restrict any increase in flights from the likes of Air Asia Indonesia and Garuda if they want to play that game....

They were just making progress gaining the trust of the travelling public again.
Various Australian agencies may be interested in this. CASA should be and Fair Trading may be asking why they sold tickets for a service that was not "approved".
Cue the lawyers entering stage left, selling tickets for something you do not have a licence to operate? Mmmmmmm
PS Didn't Air Asia fail to have approval for their ill fated Surabaya to Singapore service? QZ8501

I'm not sure I can immediately side with the posters defending Tiger and blame "politics" by the Indo's.
This airline does not have a very clean record of safety oversight.
But, I'm interested, how does this "dampish" lease actually work? Isn't it VA aircraft operated by VA pilots, presumably maintained via VA? It appears perhaps that the regulatory approval is needed via Tiger's AOC even though it is effectively operated by an airline that already has route approval? Perhaps Tiger have not been forthcoming with sufficient paperwork. You need staff for that.
And I love the quote that a discount airline should not offer a dodgy service! HTF are they going to stay so discounted then? I bought a $10 Rolex in Thailand once. It fell apart after a few months. So I spent the next six months complaining about it on the interwebs. Next trip to Thailand I bought another one. It only lasted a week. I'm getting really frustrated because Rolex are not returning my calls.

So everyone who's commented knows all the facts behind the story?
And post the grounding, what proof do you have that their safety oversight is not adequate?
Also, what does safety oversight have to do with the Indonesian Government not granting approval because they want to be difficult?
Finally, when are you planning on moving on and realising that things have changed and the people there now are focusing on keeping the airline safe and professional?

From within the Airline industry I was told today they had the rights to fly passengers in locked down but had failed to complete the necessary compliances to fly passengers out.
Interesting to see their website was still offering DPS MEL non stop flights over the next few days, marketed as non stop.
Amateur in the extreme and a good reason from my point of view not to sell them. I don't need the client angst or the extra work for no return that it creates.

Without the "facts" you're shooting from the hip!
Tigerair Australia’s new Bali service hit by lack of regulatory approval from Indonesia
As it has been shown, they didn't have the approval so therefore they shouldn't have been selling tickets.

Whether or not they or the others are to blame is an argument that will be mulled over for a while on this erstwhile forum.
But to have nongs say that without regulatory approval, Tigerair shouldn't have been selling tickets only supports the notion that idiots frequently post on this site; I distinctly recall that every new destination on Jetstar's international network was sold with the caveat 'subject to regulatory approval'.
So are Tigerair's.
It's lawful. It may not seem right, but it's lawful.
So if that seems so irritating, go and shirtfront your local member and convince them to change the law as it currently stands.

, they can still advertise and sell tickets DPS MEL, they just can't fly the sector. That's why VA are still ferrying empty frames up, and bringing punters out. Hence the massive waste of money alluded to above.
