Decision expected soon on Tiger grounding
A decision on lifting Tiger's month-long grounding was due by today but a court hearing over the suspension was adjourned for a third time, until Wednesday.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is expected to decide some time this week to lift Tiger's suspension with the airline understood to have largely agreed to a set of conditions the regulator wants imposed on its air operator's certificate.
CASA had originally planned to decide whether Tiger could resume flights by August 1, but was still considering Tiger's response to the conditions list handed to the airline on Thursday.
CASA spokesman Peter Gibson would not pre-empt the decision and could not say when it would be made.
"We're seeking to finalise everything as quickly as possible," Mr Gibson said.
"Because it's a process and there are a few steps in the process to take, we can't put a date on it at this stage."
After Monday's Federal Court hearing was adjourned until August 3, Tiger said its flights remained suspended until at least Wednesday and described reports that it would be back in the air on Friday as speculation.
Tiger last week indicated that Friday was the earliest its domestic flights may resume, with bookings between Monday and Thursday being refunded, and said it was confident it could meet CASA's conditions and resume services in the near future.
Exactly when Tiger will be back in the air and again selling tickets won't be known until CASA has made its decision.
The airline had already planned to stop flying on four routes from August 1: Brisbane-Sydney, Sydney-Sunshine Coast and between Melbourne Airport and Mackay and Rockhampton in Queensland.
That cuts Tiger's services to 14 routes across Australia, where it lost $S9 million ($A6.8 million) in its 2011 financial year.
The unprecedented grounding has led to speculation Tiger may pull out of Avalon Airport, near Geelong.
The airline said in June it was moving one of its Avalon-based aircraft to Melbourne Airport, meaning its flights between Avalon and Brisbane, Adelaide and the Gold Coast would shift to Tullamarine.
The chief executive of its Singapore-based parent company Tiger Airways Holdings, Chin Yau Seng, last week said the network review would be factored into the airline's plans for a resumption of services in Australia.
CASA initially grounded Tiger for a week on July 1, citing concerns over pilot training, safety management and its overall safety systems.
