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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.

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