Tiger Airways, in which the Ryan family hold a stake, will resume flights in Australia tomorrow after the country’s aviation regulator reinstated its operator’s certificate yesterday more than a month after grounding the carrier on safety concerns.
The airline is allowed to serve 18 sectors a day this month and has shown that it can meet the necessary safety requirements, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority said on its website.
Increased operations from next month will be subject to the regulator’s approval, according to the statement.
Tiger, which is 33 per cent owned by Singapore Airlines, is resuming services on its busiest and most profitable Australian routes, according to its website. The suspension has been costing Tiger S$2 million a week, the airline said. – (Bloomberg)
