I wonder if Foo will get a golden parachute for his excellent leadership.

Probably be Knighted for his contribution to aviation

What a circus!

Hasn't the purveyor of backpacker lodgings (Foo) already have an OBE?

On another note not too much moving internationally today out of PNG not only 2x 767 dead but also 1x 737.

TBL I fear losing $1.3 million / day would would be like turning a profit a ANG!

From the outside looking in they are haemorrhaging money faster than Ansett during their peak.

Unpaid bills to NAC, Air Services PNG, InterOil & Pacific Energy would make even the Alan Bond and Christopher Skase blush.

Quick search on EBay doesn’t look good for a couple of second hand 767 engines. Haven’t looked at tradme yet...

Anyone know when Boeing will require the final payment for the MAX?

Earlier today VH-YNU and VH-VLI, both Nauru Airlines B737s, dressed up for the day as ANG 5004 and ANG2006 respectively, appeared over Qld. YNU was flying from BNE to POM while VLI did BNE to BNE over a couple of hours with some flying practice inland from the Sunshine Coast. Anyone interested can probably recall them on FR24 but it might be a bit more difficult on Flight Aware because Nauru planes are normally blocked on that medium - must be something to do with their occasional use as refugee transports.

Nauru not exactly flash with cash. Hopefully they were smart enough to get cash in advance . Otherwise it may be a long while before things get paid.

So the word is that there is a replacement engine from the UK but because HAECO will not remove the old engine due to "commercial issues" the sick aircraft has been sitting there for the past 60 hours with the replacement just sitting idle nearby.

TBL Warrior no one has used the Caymans in years. Singapore is closer to home and more friendly.

Speaking of Ponzie Schemes how is the Middle East

Any chance we could borrow a MAX?

Even at GA level, maintenance organisations soon get to know who who doesn’t pay their bills on time.

Ples bilong giaman tok tok tasol.

Minister Duma has been fully conversant with inept management at PX since at least late 2015 early 2016.

He chose to ignore the evidence and let the status quo prevail. The motivation for this is still very unclear.

I have heard the 4th floor will be making some sort of announcement at 11 this morning with regards to T&C's, specifically pay related.

As usual done without consulting the pilot associations.
