B717'S to go

correct jetstar will be taking over the Qantaslink routes in time as NJS was and is a fill in operator tilll the big order was finally announced!! As the 717s made a perfect stop gap, so all u NJS crews will have opportunities in the future. Also believe that the A319 has also been looked at for Qlink ops. 4 of the 734's will be converted for AAe operations when they become available but the suitability of this type for the PER-MEL-PER route still a bother for AAe. Toll are currently looking for a better aircraft for the same route with "surprise " the B727 x2 as the best cost for Kg at the moment. But good aircraft hard to source!!!. On the freight front the A320 Conversion has been mooted as a future consideration put forward by Jstar to Qf/AAe. Now theres food for thought
