Some delayed incidents on tiger airways.

Wish there is a centralized place to keep track of budget airline service.

Or do budget airlines really care for their service?

OTHER DELAYED FLIGHTS

- TIGER Airways flight from Bangkok to Singapore was delayed on 15 Jun, for more than 30 hours.

Stranded passengers were told that the aircraft had a 'landing gear' fault, one of them said.

- SOME 150 passengers had to sleep in the departure lounge in Bali after their 2 1/2-hour Valuair flight to Singapore on 22 Jun was delayed for 15 hours.

The delay was caused by two mechanical problems, the airline said.

- WHAT was supposed to be a two-hour flight to Phuket ended up as a seven-hour flight.

Tiger Airways flight TR152 was delayed for five hours at Changi Airport's Budget Terminal on 23 Feb because one of the six exit signs in the plane's cabin was not working.
