Townsville Bulletin article on 1oth August reports 12 50 seat aircraft for Ansett. Also reports that negotiations with a fourth RPT AOC holder were nearing completion and that operator allows the airline to start off with a bigger operation. Not too many high capacity AOC's around North QLD so reduces the guesswork. That is if any of this is not just pie in the sky.
