SYD based 777 airline
The latest Australian Aviation has a short article about a new start SYD based operation planning to fly the Pacific with 777-200LR's from 2008.
Surprisingly quiet here for such a subject - anyone heard anything? Is this Virgin in disguise or someone trying to cut their grass? Any suggestions on how they will overcome ETOPS restrictions?
The aircraft might have 180 mins but it would be a turn up for the books if CASA approved more than 90 mins first up for a new operator and new type in country. The B777 might be far more economical than an A340, but it will be interesting to see how a new start plans to overcome ETOPS.
