Safety Bureau claims Tiger flight posed no risk

Australian Transport Safety Bureau stated that the low descent by a Tiger Airways Australia A320 into Avalon Airport, the incident that triggered the airline’s grounding, did not represent a serious threat to the aircraft or passengers (Herald Sun, 14-Jun-2011). "There's a substantial safety buffer built into the minimum safe altitude arrangements, which means there was no serious threat to the safety of the aircraft," said the ATSB chief commissioner Martin Dolan.

• Australian aviation market shows signs of slowdown just as airlines were enjoying yield premiums
  04-Apr-2012

  There are now clear signs the Australian aviation market is entering a light slowdown, with carriers adding capacity ahead of demand while airfares decline marginally. This will affect the region's carriers differently and they should all fare better than counterparts elsewhere in the world; notably, the market in Australia is still growing, but not as fast. Most exposed are Qantas mainline and Tiger Airways Australia. The former has been slowly losing some corporate business to Virgin Australia and competes with a higher cost base.

  Tiger is suffering from group-wide over-capacity and would not be able to redeploy capacity as readily. Unlike Tiger, Jetstar has a healthy and rapidly growing pan-Asian network that can absorb any surplus capacity and at a higher margin even than in Australia. Virgin Australia is seeing yield growth from its transition to a business carrier, growth that should overcome any weakness in the more leisure-exposed areas of its business.

• Fatigue risk management rules challenge LCC cost reductions as safety issues are constantly reviewed
  10-Feb-2012

  Low-cost airlines have increasingly scheduled back-of-the-clock flights departing late at night or early in the morning, but regulators are now placing greater emphasis on new issues in pilot fatigue risk management. That in turn is seeing some airlines lose operational advantages and incur a higher cost base, even if arguably justified on safety grounds.

  New regulations from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) are impacting Air India’s LCC subsidiary, Air India Express. Previously the DGCA’s duty limitations did not differentiate between when duty time was occurring, but now the country’s pilots will be limited to seven-hour duty times instead of nine hours if the duty is for back-of-the-clock flights (officially the window of circadian low, occurring between 02:00 and 06:00). The ruling is applicable for domestic and regional flights.
