Tiger Airways Suka Suka Change Airport to Land!

Landing queue
'The pilot of Tiger Airways decided to divert to an alternative airport instead of waiting for his turn to land.'
MR KUAH KONG BENG, Chief Air Traffic Control Officer, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore: 'I refer to Mr Laurence Lim's letter, 'No free water despite flight diversion, so crew chip in' (Sept 4). He asked why Tiger Airways flight TR455 left Kuala Lumpur when there were 11 planes waiting to land at Changi Airport. TR455 left Kuala Lumpur at about 1.35pm. About 30 minutes later, Singapore Air Traffic Control received an emergency landing request from an aircraft. In the interest of safety, that aircraft was given priority to land at Changi Airport and did so safely. The other aircraft arriving at Changi Airport were smoothly re-sequenced for landing at the airport. The pilot of Tiger Airways flight TR455 decided to divert to an alternative airport instead of waiting for his turn to land at Changi. We thank Mr Lim for bringing this to our attention.'

Did the joker diverted the plane to Paya Lebar or to Batam; its a bit odd that the plane been diverted like that.

NO more fuel to continue waiting.

They are operating on a tight budget, had to land fast, plane left KL with just enough fuel to touch down at Changi.

When they reach Changi not circle to land, they collect fare from customer on the return flight to KL to buy fuel.

NO more fuel to continue waiting.

OMG!!!!!

Its about time we remind our friends and family not to use budget cos they do not fuel the aircraft full at takeoff. Just the barest minimum. If im not wrong there is a law against this.

In the past, aircraft has crashed due to wrong gauges, miscommunication of refilling and miscalculation of fuel loadings.

I'd rather spend a bit more rather than put my family at risk; esp local budgets.

budget airline land with no fuel onboard left, the engine is burning vapour at the end.

well, it work, dun believe me, next time, when you car flash for fuel, you ignore it, just drive on, you cannot believe how many hundred km you can drive even if it is zero.

Wahhhhh......you have incredible insight!!!!!

Does that mean the plane can fly a few hundred kms more after the needle points to empty?

Geez, if so you have found a new law of physics....quick name it after yourself.

IDIOT'S LAW

Going by the compraints against it, it's a matter of time Tiger Airways land into trouble. Knowing how irresponsible the the Familee is, expect 0 compensation and lies if anything happens. Boycott this fucked up airline. Vote out the PAPee scoundrels.
