Australian Authorities Lift Suspension Of Tiger Airways

Low-Cost Regional Airline Flying Again As Of August 10th

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia has lifted the suspension of Tiger Airways Australia Pty Ltd, effective as of Wednesday. This follows a thorough investigation by CASA into safety issues within Tiger Airways Australia.

As a result of the investigation and consistent with previous actions taken by CASA, a new set of conditions has been imposed on Tiger Airways Australia's air operator's certificate. The agency says these conditions address key areas of operational importance within Tiger Airways and will underpin ongoing improvements in the airline's safety performance. To continue to operate Tiger must comply with the conditions while they are in place.

Areas the conditions cover include:

  • Pilot training and proficiency.
  • Pilot rostering and fatigue management.
  • Currency and revision of operational manuals and related documents.
  • Improved change-management processes and the appointment of additional qualified personnel in key positions.
  • Amendments to the airline's safety management system.

Tiger Airways Australia was required to demonstrate it had complied with the necessary safety requirements before it was permitted to resume operations. These requirements included additional simulator and ground training for Tiger's pilots.

The number of sectors Tiger Airways may fly is initially limited to a maximum of 18 a day during August 2011. Increased operations after August will be subject to CASA approval. CASA's Director of Aviation Safety, John McCormick, said Tiger had demonstrated to CASA it can comply with the conditions on its air operator's certificate and meet the necessary safety requirements. "On that basis, CASA now believes allowing Tiger Airways Australia to resume operations is acceptable," Mr McCormick said. "Tiger Airways has co-operated with CASA's investigation and is to be credited for a constructive approach. CASA will be closely monitoring the operations of Tiger Airways through scheduled surveillance and regular spot checks. We will also be meeting regularly with the airline to review ongoing safety performance and compliance with the conditions on the airline's operations."

CASA suspended the air operator's certificate of Tiger Airways Australia on 2 July 2011.
