Any chance for long-haul flights?

The B767 is apparently being wet leased to provide capacity for a short period on domestic routes for Kulula. No long haul, no BA. Short and green only. Having said that, this is sort of how Comair dabbled in -800's before jumping into the pool (those Dutch chaps and their -800 some years ago), so feel free to speculate on future potential.

Will it solely be used on JNB-CPT? Maybe a chance of seeing it in GRJ, especially over the April holiday periods? Have noted last week JNB-GRJ flights over Easter weekend showing sold out and now available again, so maybe decision to upgrade to this...?
See on other site that the next 738 is being prepared, ZS-ZWR...but shouldn't -ZWQ still go in for a proper paint job?

I think they'll have to postpone the paint job, since apparently another 800 that was supposed to come, isn't. Hence the 767.

Isn't George a little on the short side for a 767? Not having flown them, I wouldn't know. Chances are that the availability of the 767 has simply freed up another 737 to allow extra seats into George. Just guessing to be honest.

NOTOT, I did my homework and know what you talking about....However you did not do your homework...I think you mean Jetworx and NOT Aeronexus. Two totaly different companies with nothing at all to do with each other.

Is the reason for the 767 not because ZS-OAF ( Camo plane ) has been sitting at FALA without engines since 1March ??

Anyone know whats wrong with her ?
