VIC:Tiger faces more time on ground

Budget carrier Tiger Airways Australia faces more time on the ground, after a court
hearing into its suspension was again adjourned.

It's the fifth time the Federal Court hearing over the Civil Aviation Safety Authority's
grounding of the airline was adjourned.

It's now due for a mention next Thursday morning.

Counsel for CASA, NICHOLAS HARRINGTON, says there's every hope the matter will be resolved
within a week without the need for a hearing, and Tiger's counsel RICHARD DAVIS says the
only remaining matters are administrative.

The budget carrier was grounded on July 1 over safety concerns.
