Tiger defends safety reputation saying that Singapore regulators had no safety concerns over them

In a statement relayed to Singapore Business Review this morning, Tiger Airways confirmed that at least for Singapore-based operations, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has no issues on safety.

“The safety of the travelling public is of utmost importance. The CAAS conducts regular surveillance of Tiger Singapore and other Singapore Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holders to ensure their air transport operations are safe. CAAS has not found any cause for concern over Tiger Singapore’s ability to operate flights in a safe manner in its regular surveillance of the airline,” read a statement from CAAS released on Saturday, July 2.

“While both are wholly owned by Tiger Airways Holding Ltd, Tiger Airways Singapore Pte Ltd (“Tiger Singapore”; IATA Code: TR) and Tiger Airways Australia Pty Ltd (“Tiger Australia”; IATA Code: TT) are separate airline companies. Tiger Singapore holds a Singapore Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) issued by CAAS. Tiger Singapore’s operations, including flights between Singapore and Australia, are not affected by the suspension of Tiger Australia’s domestic operations by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA),” added the statement.

For Australia-based operations meanwhile, a spokesperson from Tiger Airways has this to say: “In Australia, our goal right now is to resume our services as quickly as possible whilst restoring the confidence of both CASA and the Australian public that safety underpins our operations at all times.”

“The Tiger Airways Australian team and its parent company are committed to the airline’s long term future in Australia. The airline has made a significant contribution to the domestic aviation market over the last four years, reducing air fares by 15% or more and thereby allowing more Australians to fly,” added the spokesperson.

The spokesperson also said that their management team in Australia with CEO Tony Davis continues to work with CASA to resolve the issues it has raised. “Our goal is to resume our services as quickly as possible whilst restoring the confidence of both the industry regulator and the Australian public at large that safety underpins our operations at all times,” he said.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
