With the announcement re the 777, heard Air NZ will be very soon turning some of its Bombardier Q options into orders. Five Q200's - yup the Q200 - to be used on certain high-yield Eagle routes.
This would enable Eagle to use their own machines on routes where
Vincent and National are currently paid to fly.
With Eagle getting another newish B1900, making 18, makes some sense. Oh, and a sim too!
Question: Air NZ optioned 20 Bombardiers on top of the 17 Q300's they ordered. Q200/Q300/Q400's. The Q300 order was increased by 3 to 20 earlier this year. So IF the 5 Q200's rumoured are coming, that leaves 12 more a/c. Q400's???
Or with the ATR sim, is the big slug staying?
