Well, the first one is on it's way. Took off from Bournemouth, UK yesterday morning bound for Dunnunda, as seen here.
Funny that www.ozjet.com.au doesn't yet render a website - could that be a claim for false advertising?
Is it true that they plan to use a horse and cart to transfer baggage out to the aircraft?
How long does it usually take to ferry an aircraft from the UK to here?
Cheers,
Soulman.

Interesting, that entry was NOT there when I posted...
But looking at the info it should have been... Perhaps ASIC had not processed it's updates?
alangirvan - They look hushkitted to me, FWIW.
The airframes must be costing next to nothing, probably fully depreciated. Quick paint job ($25k?) and hey presto - who cares if the fuel burn is double because there's no lease payment and the hull insurance will be next to nothing too...
I used to think I should never fly in anything older than I am. Still, by hosting this aircraft here, just think of the service Australia is doing for a despotic African or South American nation somewhere, it's one less antiquated stringbag to clutter up their mountain slopes with wreckage.
So if it was $99 ADL MEL with J*, and $49 with Ozjet, would the punters take the -200 or the Airbus?

Seems OzJet may still be contemplating using 146's as well if this link Smartnumbers Auction is anything to go by...
why else would anyone want to buy 1 300 146 146?

Ozjet in News
"The Australian" online is reporting that Ozjet, will be based in Adelaide and focussing on business passengers between the major airports.
Full story here.
This will make a few people in Qantas shuffle in their seats. Now, if they can just get code sharing with an International carrier...

Money thrown around?
News reports this morning suggest that OzJet and the SA Govt have been discussing the set-up/base of OzJet for more than 12 months, and that OzJet will be Adelaide based.
This begs two questions:
1. How much money has been or will be promised and what incentives and their cost have been offered by the SA Govt to bankroll this venture so as to base it in the midst of the Rust Belt?
2. How could any low caost carrier base itself at an airport that is denied its use for 7 hours a day becuase of a curfew?
When will politicians and their flat-earth thinking/economic rationalist advisors ever learn???

You name any start up in AU within the last 15 years and I have been offered a Cabin crew position, awaiting interviews or have been interviewed!
They just can't get the funding.
err, Virgin Blue?
Maybe even Impulse qualifies.

Time to get real
Groaner,
Virgin had buckets loads thrown at it by the Queensland Govt. Other States offered loads of incentives but failed to match the mob from Brisbane. You will also find that Australian trawled the state capitals to get as much by way of grants , incentives, tax breaks etc. as they could before settling on Queensland.
What does all of this cost the taxpayer? Tell me, why should taxpayers fund the start up of any business? They get enough tax breaks already and don't pay the same rate of tax as individuals earning roughly more than $65k. Why should any new business get a break? If I wanted to open a shop of some kind and so employ 2 or 3 people, NO government or council chases me around offering incentives to open in their patch. Why should an airline with rich parents (DJ and AO) get hand-outs?

Shades of our friend Flukey, they must have been classmates
his F1 team must be running out of cash by now.
Perhaps he is going to borrow or lease an AOC from QF, DJ or NJS for a bit until he gets going with his own.

Website
Well FMD!
The website is up.
Where the hell did this op come from?
I for one am very surprised.
Sneaky b****ard!
Well AU definately needs a premium class product to go up against QF, There is a market for it if grown slowly.
Just wish it was being done by someone more reputable!

above award pay (whatever that is) the ceo is ex Kendell wil also a few rex guys onboard in management
they have been approaching a few ex crj crew
endorsements will be salary sacrifice
interesting times ahead and more movement

6 Perhaps? 12x6x2=144 pilots? woo hoo!!

Hmmmm looks like "trouble in River City" then.
Will be interesting to see whether Adelaide can hold its end up in the scheduling/capacity stakes. No doubt lots of traffic between Mel, Bris and Syd, unlike VB with Bris the Adl end is the end.
Will be interesting to see what their Per plans are. Cuppla services a day would probably soak up all the J pax or more depending on the price.
amen.

Employment with OzJet
Just wondering if anyone knows whether Ozjet will be recruiting employees (ground and aircrew) themselves or by getting another company to do it all? I am currently having trouble accessing the employment section on their website. If anyone has any luck could thet please let me know. The website is located at http://www.ozjet.com.au .
Additionally they have info on the fleet there. Seems they'll be running 737-200's and BAe-146s.
One last thing. I heard a rumour that this company initially enquired about running operations using BAes out of YPPF (Parafeild SA). Anyone confirm this? Wouldn't have thought they'd fit.
VH-AJM.

From their website:
The BAe 146 is also known for filling the cabin with toxic fumes without even a whisper!
If you're aware of this reputation (who in this industry isn't), why oh why would you choose the 146 over some other type capable of the same relative quietness? Surely there are other types out there that can do a similar job at a similar price.
And even if there isn't, why risk the really bad publicity if/when it does happen?
the airline will operate a fleet of Boeing 737s and BAe146s – known as the whisper jet – aircraft.
