From what I've heard, the MA-60 has western engines and a glass cockpit and are not a bad machine. Probably at the only price the Tongans could afford. Now they'll get another half arsed bunch of Kiwis or Aussies trying to tell them how to run an airline and keeping all the profits.
They could get some well maintained Saabs at reasonable lease rates sitting in Townsville..Air Raro know how to make them work?
