Every carrier would have access capacity
Now Now Skystar ...Getting a little touchy.
I suggest you read your own post again...as Transition Layer picked it up as well.
Because they, being Qantas have the capacity to access aircraft that aren't being used.
....If Qantas has an aircraft that is capable of flying and generating revenue do you really think they would have it just sitting around or not being used?
They will get by just as they did when the BKK golf buggy incident happened but to suggest they have spare aircraft sitting around for this sort of eventuality....I don't think so Skystar.
They may lease aircraft from other carriers if they are really desperate but will probably get by with cancelling some services,combining others,reducing frequency or deferring some non essential maintenance on other aircraft...
(that would be a great idea...wouldn't it?
)
