Pilat: Ewan Wilson should have never been let anywhere near another Airline, and it would not surprise me if CAA decline the AOC.
Bush Lawyer -
Statute of Limitations does not apply - the test is 'a fit and proper person'. The basis for determining that goes back to the day you were born if needs be.

He only needs FPP approval if he decides to hold a senior persons role like CEO, Ops manager, etc. The press releases seemed to suggest he’s CEO, but if the feds give him grief (and “honesty crimes” like fraud would likely be grounds to) then hiring an outside CEO and taking another senior management position would be an option. Sounds expensive.

proving flight(s) next week, start regular ops week after. Apparently many small towns in New Zealand are lining up to try & get Kiwi to fly to their airport.
Makes sense, as long as the big black rat(NZ) don't fly the exact route.
Wonder if 2nd aircraft is on its way yet.

I dunno but the whole thing plays into the hands of the adage that the industry looks totally different every ten years.if I had to bet I would say Jetstar and ANZ will find a way to live with each other and everyone else will slip away.

once they have their NZ AOC they could feasibly fly domestically in Australia but under NZCAA rules not CASA rules. think Vincent NZL did that with their BAE146 til May last year.
Yep, that worked out well for Vincent 
Doesn't matter what kiwi airs competition is, they will be bust within a year and lots of people will be out of pocket. You simply can't fly that schedule through ZQN with a single SAAB and not suffer massive disruption along the way, I hope they have a massive fund for passenger recovery around the country.

BNEA320, FFS they have 1 Saab, why do you think they would try to operate in Oz? Yes Vincent did that with the 146, but they also had a base in Darwin with VH reg aircraft. The 146 was the downfall of Vincent (sort of) and finished them off. This is not a thread about Vincent so I’ll stop there.
Ollie, agreed. I’ve been wondering for some time where the money from the pre-booked tickets (if any) is currently sitting?
I wish them luck but there’s no AOC at the moment, proving flights yet to be done, and the FPP to pass for some.
One aircraft will present problems due unserviceability, and scheduled maintenance. Do they / will they have a maintenance presence at any of their scheduled ports of call?
As a round up, there are a lot of questions regarding this startup which I guess will come out in the wash………….. I guess we just watch this space……….

BNEA320: Saab 340's are cheap to lease or buy esp A models, esp cf. similar sized Dash 8's. No 2 & 3 can't be that far away.
I guess things aren't looking too rosy for Ewan:

Had to laugh when I saw the photo of that tractor.
With regard to Queenstown, nobody is particularly happy with the airport operator but if gate 1 is good enough for the ATR pax it's good enough for the Saab pax as well - if there are any.
