word is that dj are about to pick up some of xr's newman contract work and that xr will reduce services to newman. this will certainly make dj's services more viable. it will also allow xr to deploy those aircraft to more lucrative routes or to use them as rescue aircraft for every second day when they have a breakdown...indeed their reliability on some of their charter/RPT routes to the north has been shocking.
