Tiger Airways grounded in Australia

 

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/07/02/3259293.htm

 

Tiger are a low-cost airline operating mostly in SE Asia. You can see their routes on their website: http://www.tigerairways.com/

 

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/07/02/3259400.htm has an interesting video interview attached ("Pilot discusses Tiger Airway's grounding") which suggests safety concerns aren't limited to just Tiger.

 

 

Excerpts from the first article linked above:

 

Tiger grounded over 'serious' safety concerns

 

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has suspended all Tiger Airways flights in Australia for the next week because of "serious" safety concerns.

 

CASA moved to suspend the budget airline's services after an incident on Thursday night when a Tiger Airways Airbus A320 flew into Avalon Airport, south-west of Melbourne, below the lowest safe altitude.

 

It is the second time in a month that Tiger has flown below the safety standard.

 

...

 

"Tiger has not been able to, at this stage, convince us that they can continue operations safely, so that's why they're on the ground." [CASA spokesman Peter Gibson said]

This thrust, in turn, cools the air behind the propellers by up to 30 degrees Celsius
Wow, that's quite a temperature drop.
