Exclusive: “It is CASA’s aim to get Tiger flying again, but safely”

Good news for Tiger as CASA says its aim is to get Tiger flying again, but still no word on when the ban may be lifted.

The fact that CASA spokseman Peter Gibson told Singapore Business Review in an emailed response that it was their aim to get the airline flying again may alleviate worse case fears of Tiger being unable to ever fly again in Australia and being effectively forced out.

“Before this Friday, July 8, CASA must determine if the matters can be resolved and if Tiger can address the relevant safety issues. If this can be achieved, the suspension notice will automatically be lifted at midnight Friday. If we can't achieve this CASA must make an application to the Federal Court for an extension of the grounding.Tiger and CASA discussed all the relevant issues and CASA outlined what was required,” said Mr. Gibson.

“We are still investigating the recent incidents and working through a set of complex safety issues that must be addressed before we can decide when and how Tiger may get operational. It is CASA’s aim to get Tiger flying again, but safely.” he added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
