Flipside, the Cooma run was supposed to begin on Monday 17th of June (just gone). Believe there was two weeks flexibility on the start date in the event that they were not ready. Horizon is now apparently taking over the run on Monday 1st of July. I think the delay is due to not having the aircraft ready (some 23's to come from Mexico). Also some parts of the operations manual have not been approved by CASA and they are also trying to get the HS748's on the AOC for RPT as well!
Apparently they are also taking over some runs on behalf of Qantas in South Australia on the 1st of August.
