Rob. It's going to be an interesting concept! Our average airline fleet will slip from being one of the youngest in the world to something approaching the age of our GA fleet. And if "tech delays" with old equipment upset his premium business class passengers - the most discerning of the lot - he may not hold their support.
He won't be short of drivers. If they are not here now they will flock home.
I wish the guy luck - I have a feeling he's going to need it!!! And with the current level of capital city/trunk route service frequency in a country with a population of only 20 million - not quite three times the population of London but only marginally more than the population of NYC - he going to have to fight hard to carve himself an equitable and viable share....... And Ozjet want to fight it out initially on a city pair with a combined population of 7.3 million.
CASA have not yet announced whether Ozjet has been awarded a HCAOC.
