EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the striking image of five grounded Tiger Airways planes lined up on the tarmac at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport. The tails of these aircraft create a mesmerizing visual display, showcasing the vibrant and distinctive logo of this budget airline. Taken on July 8,2011, by William West from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this photograph encapsulates a crucial moment in Tiger Airways' history. At that time, Tony Davis had recently taken over as the new chief of Tiger Australia, assuring everyone that its Singapore parent company was fully committed to reviving the carrier. Despite being grounded until at least August 1 due to serious safety concerns regarding pilot training and competency, fatigue management, and other issues raised by aviation regulators, Davis remained optimistic about getting Tiger Airways back in action. The significance of this image lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in symbolizing resilience and determination within the aviation industry. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times when an airline faces regulatory obstacles or operational setbacks, there are dedicated professionals working tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure safe skies for passengers. This print is a testament to both the beauty of air travel and the unwavering commitment exhibited by those involved in keeping airlines like Tiger Airways soaring high above our heads.
