Tiger Airways will not be able to meet the formal conditions set out by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority as conditions for it to resume services. The airline has begun refunding money to passengers booked to fly until next Thursday because it will not be able to meet the necessary requirements to resume services by Monday.
“As a result of the progress made since July 1, 2011, Tiger Airways Australia is confident that it can comply with these conditions and expects to resume services in the near future,” it said in statement to the Singapore Stock Exchange.
“As a consequence, Tiger Airways Australia will automatically refund all passengers booked to fly between August 1, 2011, and August 4, 2011 (both dates inclusive).
“A further announcement, concerning flights scheduled to operate from August 5, 2011 and the re-commencement of sales, will be made at the appropriate time.”
