SAX Q400 #2 (ZS-NMS) arrived in SA on 18th July 2006.

Saw it prancing @ the "Bone Yard" between 03L and 03R today.

According to what I could gather, it should be in Scheduled service from 24th July 2006.

Oh Boy, with the current trend in Fuel Costs and load factors believed to be at 90%+, those "Bean Counters" at SAX must be smiling all the way to the banks. Especially considering that the Q400 (according to Bombardier), has a break even load factor of only 35%.

Now that's a profit machine if u ask me...
