1900D's are hard to run a profit on. Just when everything has been going along swimmingly for a few months, an unexpected hot section, or a planned undercarriage overhaul comes up and 6 months profits go down the toilet. Hawker/Beech/Textron/Uncletomcobillee or whatever they're called are making noises about getting their parts/service section sorted out. It's been a long, expensive time coming. Even the well run, professional 1900 operation in New Zealand has fallen foul of the parent company and is on shaky ground. Apparently, AirNZ Central thought they were going to make them a tidy profit...silly!
