Aladdin,
Yes REX maybe 40% owned by "singaporeans", but they are "singaporean" businessman. They have nothing to do with SQ/SIA. I do think they (REX) will play a part in providing a regional feeder to any SQ/SIA domestic operation but Alliance will play a "MAJOR" part.
At this stage SQ has no direct investment in Alliance but they do have an indirect investment. One of Alliance/QAHs shareholders is Aeromil. Aeromil have just started their 10 year contract with SQ, to provide support for the advanced flying training in the LR45s at MCY. Also a few weeks ago, Sunshine Express (owned by Aeromil) operated a charter flight from MCY-BNE-MCY. This flight carried had some very senior people from SQ on board. They flew down to inspect the Alliance Airlines facilities.
dlf and casper,
true, I've been saying this for over a month now! One day they will see the big picture.
People look outside the square! SQ do not need a new AOC.
I'm sure it's much quicker to add the A320 to a current HCAOC then to apply for a new one
