Tiger Airways up on news it may resume Australia flights

Shares of Singapore’s budget carrier Tiger Airways (TAHL.SI) jumped 3.8% on Wednesday, after news that it may resume its Australian flights by early August, traders said.

At 2:22 p.m., Tiger shares were traded at $1.225 with over 16.7 million shares changing hands.
 
Tiger 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 on safety concerns.
 
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.
