I have found all the replies to my initial post very interesting and look forward to an official announcement from V Blue about the actual services
they intend offering,however whilst on the subject ,may I relate the
following experience.
Recently I had to see a client in Melbourne and booked at return flight with
Rex for the 10.20 am service at a very reasonable fare of $96.00,I was
surprised however on boarding to find that I was one of only 12 passengers on the flight,this was a Friday,mid morning flight,not peak hour I admit but it left me wondering how can Rex operate that service based on those passenger numbers and make a profit on that airfare?
What would be the total cost to run that flight based on those numbers,
any opinions ?
