Couple of spare EJets on the way for
VB. Could they be painted in PB colours to operate internally within NZ. It could be a similar setup to whats going on in WA. All about feeding the main hub with the right number of seats.
The PB wet lease deal would be helping out the bro's in NZ. DPS has become a nice little earner for the group.
In the mean time Air NZ finds out this is about to happen and drops the prices in advance. No doubt someone at the regulator would be happy to keep the home team with the advantage and give them the heads up.
Interesting times ahead.
