Once upon a time there was Air Nauru.

You forgot inanity - typified by your post.


As in "Something empty of meaning or sense."

[Fantome]

and people accuse me . . . . witwiw . . . as you know, he is anything but inane. . . . as a rule . . .. . but tonight the Kilkenny is
kicking in . . .. it's oither thut . . or the juice of the barley . .. AND . .his long list of ingredients is not without some Ernest Gannish influence. (Upon his office shelves once
upon a time I did aspy, tucked in at the end of two metres groaning shelf space of manuals, regs and regs and regs and bumf. . . the
EKG classic.)

BTW . . IOS???

Sensitive, aren't we?

Witwiw and Amos2

You guys need to chill out..yarns are are yarns....

Having an idea who Centaurus and Mach are, I would imagine their stories have substance.

Geez..bet you two (Amos2 and Witty) will have a best seller...um NOT!!

[zanzibar]

Who removed the inane rants? The poster or the mods?


And with this,


"And once you line 'em all up - ???

Sorry to drag up this thread but there is an interesting analysis done on Nauru Airlines on CAPA:

Nauru Airlines begins new chapter with new brand & rapid growth despite world?s smallest home market | CAPA - Centre for Aviation

Must have been wrong info.....

[feenix]

Doubt it 4 holer. Even if they were paying as you say, which I doubt, it would still be half of what Virgin would want !

[falconx]

interesting to see if Virgin is given access

[4 Holer]

Got it wrong again...............

[mightyauster]

Dear 4 Holer,

Why has your DC8 not flown for the last few weeks? I hear the Feds are involved...

[Rhterrke Atnyeneteke]

Rumour Aussie Govt getting charged 737-300 (128 seats ) $17000 per hour to Nauru not hard to beat that one would think. Presume AUS Government flight number will get access.....

But what do you think would happen to a flagship Australian government policy if Canberra said, sorry but we're not going to use Air Nauru to fly to Nauru any more?

The words, "short and curlies" spring to mind.

[falconx]

For the Aussie government to use Nauru's detention it was a condition it's own airline was to be used. $17K an hour, explains another 3 in aircraft in 6 months

[d_concord]

Morrison on Friday spelt out that they were offering to shut down the detention centres if they can get the TPV's through the senate.

Makes sense but it will bring the gravy train to a halt.

(and for what it is worth I have heard a much higher figure than the 17K/hr)

[feenix]

You guys are dreaming. Some facts. It is not 17000 or higher-Try and hire a 737 off any of the majors and you won't see much change out of 25000- What government work they do carry out is shared with Skytraders who are more expensive I'm told-the Australian government does not hire the airline to take workers to Nauru it is a private company- Nauru government was getting a freighter before the centre was opened and it appears the DC8 operator has his nose out of joint as the private (not Government) parties using him were not satisfied with his work- The fleet upgrading and expansion has been planned for other purposes and all the centres have done is escalate things. The airline is providing work for people under good conditions so why knock it. Even so I will sit back and wait for the barrage of unfavourable comments from parties with much to gain if they fail.

[Car RAMROD]

Isn't there a PNG operator asking for about $30+ grand an hour for their Fokkers??

Ill take a 17k 737 if that's the case!

[Square Bear]

Isn't there a PNG operator asking for about $30+ grand an hour for their Fokkers??

Are you serious, Travel Air charge that much to charter one of their Fokker 50's???

Tell 'em they're dreaming!, go for the 733.

[Stanwell]

Aww, c'mon chaps. Do your sums please.


Centaurus, where are you when we need you for another remenisce?
