Tigerair Australia has scrapped all flights to the resort island of Bali, the airline said Friday, after failing to obtain regulatory approval from Indonesian authorities. Hundreds of tourists were stranded in Bali last month when the carrier's flights were grounded temporarily after the airline allegedly broke Indonesian regulations.
"We have been advised by Indonesian authorities that in order to continue operating our flights to Bali, we would have to transfer to a new operating model that would take at least six months to implement," Tigerair chief executive Rob Sharp said. That "would compromise our ability to offer low-cost airfares to Australians," the statement said.
