Oz Jet will have a hard time competing with OA when you look at Oa's hourly rates. They just cant compete on routes like Norfolk.
The only reason OZ JET would bother applying to run through to Nauru, is to send OA down the chute. OA is unvieable. It always has been. If OA falls over again, it will be for the last time. With OA out of the way, OZ JEt is free to control the Norfolk route. There are no other operators in the area that have the time to risk or waste on the route. Pac Blue is looking at it at the moment, and will probably end up operating it to lower their hourly lease rates on their main line routes.
SAW on the HIR route is useless. Even with new aircraft, the service is inadequate. As far as them operating domestically in the Solomons, this is simply ridiculous. They have no infrastructure in place. No maintenance, no one even to take the money for tickets. F..king ridiculous.
