Status of VH-FJR

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Just wondering what the status is of Tiger A320 VH-FJR which was supposedely delivered around the 24th April.

Haven't seen any movements on the eastern seaboard as I do normally pick up the basic SYD flights as well as MEL-BNE etc.

Was reported in the press recently that it was grounded subject to TT resolving "show cause" issues that were raised around 21 April:-

Thanks Garry, the article explains it all. Shame really as they would definitely benefit from even one extra aircraft to assist in scheduling and maintainance issues.
