VH-SWO will not be going into service on 01 May as there have been some delays.
While this aircraft is in Solomon Airlines colours it will in fact be operated by the new company Sky Air World. Sky Air do not yet have their Air Operators Certificate from CASA. When everything is in place CASA will issue the AOC and Sky Air can commence commercial operations. Those initial ops will be on contract to Solomon A/L.
As a side issue, the person who posted this on OzSpotters is also the CASA case manager for Sky Air World's AOC application! Slight lack of professionalism perhaps?
The AOC should be granted next Friday (May 11) after the final route proving flight on Thursday.
And as for "knocking" other aircraft types, my reading of their website is that they just do comparos against the 732 and F100 which show the 170 and 190 in a very good light! Nobody's "knocking" anything.
