It would be very surprising for Strategic to buy Ozjet although they appear to be floundering around trying to get an AOC one way or the other. I thought they had in fact made an application quite some time ago, Perhaps they need to just get on with it.

There is really no sense in the Ozjet AOC. An old Boeing AOC is a long way from an Airbus operation. Unless of course they want to operate that equipment.

While the purchase doesn't require CASA's approval, I bet they wouldn't like it if it is felt that it is a shortcut to an Airbus operation.

If they are hellbent on buying one, I would think there is only one Airbus AOC about that they they would have any chance of getting and that has 180 minutes EDTO to boot. All the check and training in place, manuals, maintenance systems and Airbus experienced people.

Maybe they have tried that already.
