Today's Solomon Star reports the following. Isn't this SAW under a new name but still with the same principals. Why on earth do they think that the E170 under a different banner will be anything more than the dismal failure it was under another banner?

New airline to begin services to Honiara
Submitted by drupal on 13 November, 2007 - 10:33am. Headlines AN Australian based company Coral Sea Express (CSE) will start serving the country at the end of the month.
Managing Director David Charlton told the Solomon Star that CSE will be the first airline to offer daily flights between Honiara and Brisbane.
The company is set to start its operation at the end of the month with three flights a week and hoping to move it to seven days by next year.
Mr Charlton said the airline has already met all the requirements and is ready to take to the skies.
He hoped that the airline will offer Solomon Islands’ travellers an opportunity which is unmatched by other competitors.
CSE will also be working with tourism operators in an effort to boost the tourism industry.
Mr Charton is optimistic that travellers between Australia and Solomon Islands will be increased as a result of the new service.
He said the airline will also be training Solomon Islanders to be cabin crew and work closely with locals.
The airline will operate an E-170 and will use an IE190 by early next year.
The airline is able to fly after it agreed to a local partner.

I bet they will be hanging out for the E190...
But weren't a lot of the E170 problems associated with favours for mates in respect of baggage allowance etc. If they run it themselves, maybe some of those issues go away?

there is no way any one would be insane enough to attempt to use a 170 again, let alone try to use a 190.

As I said in an earlier post announcing SAW's leases for EMB 145's and the ERJ190........
Have SAW successfully tendered for any work? They don't seem to have achieved any FIFO work with the mining community. Their contract RPT service in the Pacific didn't succeed and yet they have announced additional aircraft leases! As they don't seem to have a revenue stream, I wonder how they are funding all this activity....does anyone care to comment?

Has capacity been awarded by the IASC?

Coral Sea Express is a JV between SAW and a local operator, the details of which will be announced next week. David Charlton IS NOT the MD of CSE - this was an error by the Solomons Star reporter.

That I knew, doesnt mean they paid the full amount does it? I would presume that they paid x% of a total of 100% to keep the aircraft on standby and for whatever reason NJS went on strike then the aircraft would be charged at 100% when flying......

Magoodotcom, it would be interesting if you could let slip any information on the 145's what they would be doing.
I have no idea and keep scratching me head.

Why does CSE think an E170 second time around will be any better than the first debacle. As for their desire that the Solomons government/DCA will facilitate provision of an alternate aerodrome closer to HIR than what currently exists (see the IASC website and the SAW application for rights) so that they can improve the pathetic payload, well, methinks they'll be a long time waiting.
As for
then it must be doing a lot of night (or weekend) flying given the amount of time I've seen it on the ground at BNEAP from my nearby office vantage point.
As for
The 170 has been busy at least 4-5 days a week since being withdrawn from IE service.
