The March issue of Australian Aviation has the following on Alliance’s current and future fleet.

Alliance Airlines has purchased two Fokker 50s from Mandarin Airlines in Taiwan with VH-FKY msn 20284 ex B-12271 planned for delivery in February and VH-FKZ msn 20286 ex B-12272 planned for delivery in April.
Alliance Fokker 100 VH-FKD entered service on December 13 when it operated QQ835 from Townsville to Phosphate Hill. This brings the current Alliance operational Fokker 100 fleet to five, comprising VH-FKA, VH-FKD, VH-FKF, VH-FWH and VH-FWI. They will be joined in early March by VH-FKG which is currently under pre-service maintenance in Brisbane. A further three Fokker 100's VH-FKJ, VH-FKK and VH-FKL await delivery from the US to Brisbane and they are planned to enter service by August. Fokker 100 P2-ANB continues on lease to Air Niugini while Fokker 100 P2-ANA now registered VH-FKE which returned from lease to Air Niugini in August '06 is parked at Brisbane awaiting its turn to enter the maintenance hangar.



So from the above it would appear they are planning on having 9 F100s and 2 F50s in service. If this is the case looks likes they will be recruiting fairly heavily this year.
