Tiger Airways (TAHL.SI) is working with Australia’s aviation regulator towards the resumption of domestic flights in the country by early August, a source said on Wednesday, after its flights were grounded more than three weeks ago.
Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is expected to lift a ban on the Singaporean budget carrier flying on Aug. 1, the source familiar with the situation said, although the exact timing of Tiger resuming flights was still being discussed.

A Federal Court hearing is scheduled for Thursday to consider extending an existing flying ban which expires on July 31, but Tiger is expected to seek an adjournment to that hearing, the source said.
Australia halted Tiger’s local flights on safety concerns on July 2, the first time a carrier’s entire fleet has been grounded in the country.
Tiger Airways was not immediately available for comment.
