0111 GMT [Dow Jones] Tiger Airways (J7X.SG) falls 16.0% to S$1.00 in active trade on news Australia''s aviation regulator ordered the carrier to suspend its domestic services until July 9 over safety concerns.
Tiger says the suspension will cost the airline about S$2 million per week. " We do not think that the losses are substantial for this initial period of suspension, but the financial impact could be significant if the suspension period is extended or if their flying license in Australia is revoked," says Phillip Securities. It adds, " with safety concerns and the disruptions experienced by passengers, the company''s reputation and consumer confidence is negatively affected.
Furthermore, this disruption gives their competitors an opportunity to capitalize on their woes and increase their market share in the highly competitive domestic business."
The house downgrades the stock to Trading Sell from Hold and cuts its fair value to S$1.07 from S$1.60 it adds, " while we see long term value in Tiger...we expect downward pressure on its share price in the near term." (matthew.allen@dowjones.com)

been disrupted as a result, as well as ongoing cooperation with CASA. 
 
Tiger Airways is offering these passengers its sincere apologies and will continue to do 
all that we can to minimise future disruption. Those who are effected will be offered a full

outcome to this investigation at the earliest opportunity, as we did with the recent Show 
Cause Notice. In this case Tiger Airways has taken steps to comply with the conditions 
required by CASA as a result of this process.

wider safety concerns CASA has raised. We are committed to resolving these quickly

monday (4 Jul) Tiger Airways will crash!
JULY 2, 2011
Tiger Airways Australia domestic flights suspended
The services to and from Singapore, however, would continue to operate normally, the Australian Associated Press reports.
CASA says the action has been taken because it believed permitting the airline to continue to fly would pose a serious and imminent risk to air safety.
It said the suspension of the Singapore-owned Tiger Airways Australia followed the issue of a show-cause notice to the airline in March this year, and taking Tiger’s response into account it has imposed a number of conditions on
the airline’s air operator’s certificate.
“They include actions to improve the proficiency of Tiger’s pilots and their training and checking processes, changes to fatigue management and improvements to maintenance control,” it said.
Tiger said its domestic services would remain suspended until next Saturday while it conducted investigations into two recent operational incidents.
It said its services to and from Singapore were not affected and would continue to operate normally.

Stock is unchg at $1.31.
Got rid of this at $1.48 very lucky to make some $.
Got rid of Midas, Golden Agri,   Biosensors booking some coffee money.
Stuck with C& O Pharm. and Genting Sp. Got to go fasting for some time.  
Take this with a pinch of salt.
Why did CEO sell of his one million shares?
Although I must  say the price now looks very tempting.
But if analysts' calls are true, very limited upside and also various other current aviation factors. higher fuel costs etc.
Shares of Singapore budget carrier Tiger Airways (TAHL.SI) fell to the lowest intraday level since March 17 on news that Tiger CEO sold one million shares in the firm and on analyst concerns that its budget carrier alliance with Thai Airways may fall apart as the Thai carrier sets up its own regional airline.
Tiger shares dropped as much as 3.6% to $1.33 in early trade on Thursday, but had since edged up to $1.34. On March 17, Tiger stock hit an intra-day low of $1.32.
Tiger CEO Tony Davis sold one million shares at $1.42, below the IPO price of $1.50, cutting his stake in the company to 0.57% from 0.75%, according to a filing to the Singapore Stock Exchange.
“It shows that the management itself is not confident of the direction of the company,” said Melissa Yeap, an analyst at DMG & Partners Research.
“I think that’s why it’s particularly leading to the share price fall, coupled with the fact that Thai Airways is setting up its own airline,” she added.
Thai Airways (THAI.BK) announced that it will be setting up a new regional airline, tentatively called Thai Wing, which is expected to start operations in early 2012.
Last year, Thai Airways formed an alliance with Tiger to form budget carrier Thai Tiger Airways, but Thai Airways chairman said the launch would be delayed for another two or three months from May.
However, Yeap said DMG maintained its earnings estimates for Tiger partly because the brokerage had factored in the possibility that the Thai Tiger alliance will not materialize.
DMG has a neutral rating and a $1.40 target price on Tiger.
