I am not in the business of naming them but rather looking for comments on the fairness of it all, and yes Apache it must work both ways although in this case I believe their is a trans-tasman agreement covering your example. If an overseas registered operator wishes to base aircraft and crew in Australia to operate within and/or out of Australia they should have to have an AAOC. We are not talking of O/S airlines that operate into and out of here but rather operators who are blatantly based here while using a foreign AOC . A new one is about to start up in Brisbane and I guess I am commenting on the attitude of CASA rather than anything else as while it is legal people will continue to shortcut the system on costs and standards, otherwise they would operate under an AAOC
7378fe , by saying there is less than one such operation are you saying there is none or only part of an airline, or are you going to the same school you mentioned
