Cheap and easy flights between Bali and Oz via TigerAir?! JK, budget carrier’s got regulation problems to deal with

They’ve got ninety-nine problems and regulation sure as hell is one. 

Aussies were thrilled when budget airline TigerAir launched its new flights linking up several Aussie cities and Bali on March 23. 

But the excitement has apparently turned into frustration as the airline is reportedly grappling with regulation troubles in Indonesia. 

Tiger didn’t get Indonesian regulatory approval to fly out of Denpasar for their new services, reports the Daily Telegraph. This means the airline can sell flights from Australia to Bali and roundtrips, but the one-way service from Denpasar back to Australia is not allowed. 

Of course this has been super aggravating for people to deal with who hard already booked from Denpasar to Oz. Many of the flights have reportedly been rebooked over to Virign Australia. 

There was at least one empty plane that was sent back to Oz from Denpasar because of the regulation issue.
