no it was damaged at NAN. Flight was due to go NAN/LAX.
Fiji Airways A330 plane damaged | FijiMala
FJ could charter in anyone(it's Fiji traffic rights you're talking about)
It would make sense for QF to do it if they have the aircraft available.
RATES ?
When you won 1/2 of the airline, charging high rates, means charging yourself.
It doesn't sound like a 3 day fix.
Imagine there would be plenty of 767's sitting around in USA eg. who's owners would be glad to get some work for it for a week or 2.
Airlines chartering from other airlines don't pay silly adhoc rates.
