what's the latest on FREE SPIRIT ?

[Rotor Work]

I will keep it brief,
Today's Advocate newspaper has a new start up date 1st November.
Regards RW

[tauro]

This will be another waste of other people's money. Fair dinkum Roman must be an idiot as only a fool makes the same mistake twice.

[zanthrus]

Twice? Haven't about 6 proposed start up dates been and gone?
Still not one pax or flight?

[Eastwest Loco]

Airline at the end opf the Universe?

Even TV advertising.

I can only see cabin load freight as a saving grace.

The punters are showing zero interest here.

Best all

Now that RB is wasting even more of other peoples money again, does any one know what the punters response has been like.

A Beech 1900 made three attempts at Wynyard this evening before diverting to Essendon. I believe it could be FS.

[planeloader]

Noticed there B1900 landing today at Essendon around lunchtime.

[B772]

Free Spirit now claim to have a fleet of 2 x B1900's. Still operating to BWT and MIM from MEB.

[Unregistered User]

FSA, from day dot, have claimed to have 2 B1900's. Which is BS.

Not an RPT outfit. Charter only.

[Brakerider]

I doubt Fly Orana even have the B1900 on their AOC.

[Horatio Leafblower]

Fly Orana have been using VH-YBH from Rossair.

I note that YBH has returned to Adelaide.

heard things are going well at Free Spirit loadings up over 70% on sectors

[red_dirt]

Lotta money to spend on the paint job for only a shot period of time using it

[mikewil]

I wonder if any suckers have paid $150,000 for their cadetship.

that's great load factors, but doesn't tell you anything about yield.


50% load factor might be better if total yield higher. Anyone can give away seats.

Funny how the media often reports load factors. A start up could give away 100% of seats & have 100% load factor. Does that mean the start up is doing well ? According to media yes.

No movements for nearly two weeks according to Flightaware.
