Surely no Airline Owner or Management team could be so inept or stupid to get to this position...could it be a plan for ANG to get rid of its Domestic Ops...give it to CG (who happens to also be owned by the GOVT in "around about way".
Leave ANG to do just International...leave the troublesome Domestic stuff to others.
A thought bubble yeah, but if the rumours are true about dropping down to a 3/4 aircraft schedule from a 9 aircraft schedule, while having a fleet of 14 Fokkers !!!!!
And if the owners, read the PNG Govt hasn't bothered to step in , surely some planing for this must have happended, otherwise the Management, Board of Directors and Post Holders would been flicked by now.
Airlines PNG have brand new ATR's, more coming, and Air Niugini has old Dashes and old Fokkers doing the Domestic runs. How does a private company get finance for new airframes and the Government owned Airline still flies outdated aircraft.
And does a drop down to 3/4 airframe schedule mean some of the guys will be furloughed, or is the schedule meant to meet the pilot numbers?
Was a freaking mess three + years ago, but from the sidelines this is now obviously worse and embarrassing to watch, sad for those still there.
