"Getting turboprops to Melbourne would allow Virgin to shift some services from 98-seat E190s to 68-seat ATRs, or replace one 176-seat Boeing 737 with two ATR services, depending on demand and frequency requirements."

the point is how many other jet services are going to be replaced by turboprops, reducing capacity or increasing frequency.


QF already does CBR/BNE in a dash 8, which is quite a long sector for a tp.
