Tiger Airways intends to cooperate with Australia's aviation regulator following the suspension of its domestic services within the country on Friday last week as ordered by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

In a statement, CASA cited alarming safety issues that warranted the move, which according to Tiger Airways Holdings will cost them some $1.5 million for each week of the company's entire Australian being grounded.

CASA ordered Tiger Airways to stop its operations for a week and a report published by the Australian Associated Press on Monday indicated of possible extension of the service stoppage though the regulating body has yet to announce any filing before the Federal Court, which can grant the extension of its ruling.

CASA said in a statement that Tiger Airways Holdings' group president Tony Davis will; depart from Singapore shortly to lead the company's discussions with CASA officials and according to an airline spokeswoman, Tiger has prioritised for the lifting of the suspension.

The company spokeswoman said Davis has been directed by Tiger board of directors to work on lifting the costly suspension soon as she stressed of "the priority to work with CASA at the moment to make sure that the issues are resolved."

In an interview with ABC over the weekend, Davis said that Tiger Airways is seriously looking into the cause of the service suspension as he asserted that "clearly we want to make sure that our services are as safe as they possibly can be and clearly when CASA has concerns."

In its decision, CASA said that allowing Tiger Airways to continue its operation could bring imminent danger to air safety but Davis belied the declaration as he added all points raised by the regulator were now being probed by the company.

Despite the week-long suspension, Tiger Airways said that travellers can still book their flights for next Sunday as the airline conducts its negotiations with CASA that hopefully will work out the agency's safety concerns and allow the lifting of the suspension by next week or sooner.
