Traffic Rights
If Jetstar Asia operate this route, doesn't that mean that the DRW-CNS portion of the service would be considered as a cabotage sector?
ie. As a 'foreign' carrier operating a domestic sector Jetstar Asia would not have the traffic rights to pick up a CNS passenger a take them just to DRW. Other foreign carriers have tried for years to utilise their domestic legs to generate a bit of extra revenue, but apart from special circumstances (eg AN collapse) they have not been permitted to uplift domestic passengers. Or is it all just a wet-lease where Jetstar (Aust) is the operator and is just leasing the aircraft and crew?
Is this allowed on a ongoing basis? I thought that if say QF 'borrowed' a BA aircraft for say 6 months that it would have to go onto the Aussie register for the duration of its stay and be flown by Aussie crews, then would go back to a UK reg when it returned to BA.
