Tiger Airways fined for spamming customers

Tiger Airways has been found guilty of spamming its customers by Australia’s communications watchdog.

The Singapore Airlines-backed carrier has been fined $110,000 by the Australian Communications and Media Authority for failing to unsubscribe customers from marketing emails.

The news comes in the same month that restrictions imposed on the airline were lifted more than a year after its entire fleet was grounded over safety concerns.

The ACMA ruling came after it found that, despite repeated requests from Tiger Airlines’ customers to be removed from its mailing list, and a number of warnings from ACMA, the airline continued to breach its rules on spamming.
