just found this porky when having a quick look at new jetgo website
"Our ERJs are so quiet that they are the only commercial jet aircraft permitted to operate into Sydney Airport during the curfew period."
For a start all BAE146's can land at SYD during curfew & plenty of them still in Australia.
Think also a Dornier 328 jet can land at SYD during curfew.
There are probably other commercial jets that can also.

Sorry XPT but I just looked up the groups of aircraft that are allowed to operate at YSSY during the curfew as I didn't recall either of your nominated types as being on the list and neither the 146 or 328 are included.
You might want to refer to either the AIP DAP or Jeps about the aircraft types permitted to operate during curfew.

B772,
I'd be interested to know how they got that approval, as I'd made some enquires about another type that isn't listed and was told "No way", as it isn't on the list and it wouldn't be allowed. That was only 18 months ago.

Snakecharma,
Well I stand corrected.
Is the 146 freighter covered by the paragraph in DAP regarding the curfew provisions saying, some operations have concessions against the curfew?
Was the approval only for freight ops or did it include pax ops?

"The 146 is most definitely approved for Sydney curfew operations"
With 4 APU's and a hair dryer, hardly makes much noise!!!! Would've made a good jet option for Entebbe.

Bagthrower is on the money. The company has deep pockets and also a well structured plan. They will service a number of regions and service them well....no prehistoric dinosaur aircraft with this mob

A bit of a stretch Hugh!
As far as I know Jetgo has only one ex Tamair person and he is not involved in flight operations. Hmmmm! Last I looked Virgin and Qantas had heaps of ex Tamair people in flight operational roles...... would you make the same comment about them?
As for JR & PB, there has been an awful lot of water under the bridge since Fitzroy & Tamair.

Jetgo
Hear they are doing hub busting routes GLA/BUD/ROK/ROM/EML/Wellcamp to SYD in their ERJ's.. noted their proving run yesterday they did ROMA SYD in under an hour and twenty minutes... the dirty old dash would still be going round the holding pattern getting into BNE when these guys are on short final at SYD, That would have to save a Shirtload of time transiting through that 'holding megaplace' they call an airport at Brisbane.. Smart move, hope they bring there machines into NSW and give REX a hurry up, Dubbo Melbourne maybe or Dubbo Brisbane all for the taking
