Cobham will retain the coast watch contract ( this is the parent company expertise and core business)
Carlyle will pick up charter business and replace 146's with F100's
QANTASLink will take the rpt back in place (business plan already done) with expansion of 737 flying in the west. Cseries to arrive in 2015.
QANTAS wont worry about replacing jets with Q400's look at Rocky, Mackay and Cloncurry (formerley jet runs).
