Yeah was a bit out of the blue!!
I know Sino Steel (Citec Pacific) had a contract with them for how ever many days a week and then the remainder of the seats on the plane (think it was around 20%??) was then on sold to the public.
Guess either the contact has finished or Citec Pacific has found someone else to fly their guys up.
Could be a good thing though may see Virgin up to 737's permanently on their flights as quite a few people flew with XR. Was good a proper cooked brekky and great legroom.
Also gone is now any hope of a KTA-DPS flight with XR. Really weird though at one point we had the A320 in here regularly.
Interesting to see why and what happened though! 2nd time they have dumped Karratha. Nice of Qantas to happen to have lost all their red e deals on the morning and afternoon flights at the same time as XR dropping KTA.......
