Maybe aircraft No. 8 from December.
And it might be based in ADL.
And possibly a base at Avalon to scrap it out with Jetstar. That should make a few crew happy...
Another forum mentions rumoured ADL-CNS and ADL-PER (daylight) services with the new aircraft with a gap yet to be filled in the schedule. Would they consider either a triangular ADL-OOL-HBA-ADL or a W shape ADL-OOL-HBA-OOL-ADL with a bit of shifting in the existing schedule?
There is just no where near enough HBA-QLD capacity at the moment with DJ only operating the E90 once daily on HBA-BNE, and JQ four weekly on the LST-BNE. At its peak we had DJ and JQ on HBA-BNE with 737/320 (DJ sometimes twice daily too), plus DJ on LST-BNE with the E70 on top of JQ four weekly LST-BNE. Then JQ moved to the "midnight schedule" and it died. At the start of the GFC, DJ cut the LST-BNE, dropped the second HBA-BNE and downgraded the other HBA-BNE from 73H to E90 despite the fact that since the start of the GFC, HBA airport is the 2nd fastest growing in Australia.
