Call to Ban Tiger Airways from Australia, ANZAC Offense
Posted: 2009/04/24
Tiger Airways arguably qualifies as the world's worst "low-cost"airline, with the real costs due to cancellations without notification and other illegal practices with resulting high risks to travelers, making it's title as a low-cost airline disputable, according to Australian travel affairs editor at this news network.
Australians are complaining in increasing numbers, and calls for an investigation and banning of the airline as well as highly punitive fines in order to show Australia is not "fair game" for unscrupulous operators, and to send a message to other airlines to respect Australian consumer rights.
The web is awash with countless stories of bad customer service, rip offs, illegal and immoral practices by Tiger Airways, which have also called into question the very reputation of Singapore as a "clean" business location.
The latest upset comes in a Crikey Editorial concerning Tiger Airways illegal use of ANZAC Day for its commercial benefit, and the grubby performance of it's Australian Managing director who appears to be living on a different planet from the rest of us.
However, we would hope that any efforts to take Tiger Airways to task do not rest on individual and specific cases but address the whole pattern of behavior by the company and that the airline is banned from Australian skies. The liberalization of Australian airspace, unpopular with many Australians, should not come at the cost to Australians in their safety, comfort, cost, well-being and acceptable levels of customer service.
Mathaba News is in possession of numerous evidence and significant complaints against Tiger Airways that have been ignored and invite the public to supply further detailed and comprehensive information of bookings changes without notification, ignored correspondence and related matters for our files, to assist in the campaign to ban this rogue airline from Australian skies.
We are also collecting donations toward increased advertising to be shown in various countries calling for a ban of the airline, with links to related information, as well as possible legal actions. $A20 already buys 10,000 advertisements, and any amount is acceptable and will be used to purchase extra advertising and exposure of Tiger Airways malpractices.
