All Tiger Airways domestic flights within Australia have been grounded by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of that country until at least July 9th.
Citing a "serious and imminent risk" to public safety, and the future of the subsidiary of the Singapore -based airline remains a question market should the ban continue for a sustained period.
Many domestic passengers within Australia have been inconvenienced though inter-Asia flights remain unaffected.
Singapore Airlines is a major partner in the parent company. and plans for a venture called Thai Tiger in Thailand with Thai Airways International have been delayed over the past six months.
