JETGO Airlines to launch Brisbane-Karratha-Singapore services
How about more like the Embraer ( I think it was) with the coffee/soft drink spill that created some electrical issues? That need parts and possible some damage that requires some structural drawings and repairs?
Do Jetgo have good credit with maintenance and parts suppliers? Or say Airnorth for a Charter to move booked paxs?

They have the wrong aircraft for the wrong routes. The ideal aircraft for the routes they are flying is probably the Q400. I have no idea what the main focus cities are because they fly random routes all over the country, chopping and changing, announcing then deannouncing new routes.
You need a lot of cash behind you if you want to have a serious crack at this market with Jets. Tiger had SIA. Strategic and this mob only have themselves.

As for cash, I agree with you. They have been trading for six years so they seem viable and one hopes they have cash on hand for the imminent expansion.

Flight aware indicates they're down to a 1 aircraft schedule as of 04/05. Combined with recent hull & engine reposessions, one could be forgiven for thinking the end is very near.
Can I assume that Flight Aware uses ADS B information for tracking? I remember seeing somewhere that Jetgo had an exemption from ADS B fitment, so would that invalidate your assumptions about their activity? Are the repossessions fact?
https://www.casa.gov.au/files/casaex17079pdf Although it does say it was repealed at the end of March 2018. Perhaps there was an extension?
Edit to add: JGB and JGR are both shown on Flightradar24 as having flown today.

As for exemption of ADS B that is only a postponement of a cost.
Aircraft require engines to fly, how many are on aircraft today? Short answer is not enough for all to fly and it has been that way for some time.
VH-JZG (an E135, I think) was the only one that did not have ADS-B and it does not seem to have been around for a while. Spotters reckon that it was the only RPT jet in Oz that was not equipped by the mandate deadline.

Who does their maintenance? I would guess if they are not getting paid they will stop supplying just like a refueller would. BAC would need to get an order to impound aircraft but very easy to stop supply of services. If that is not occurring then there is no evidence of impending doom. Aircraft lease and finance deals can be complex so who knows.

I’m sure The CEO is getting typed. It’s best to make the company pay for your type rating before the company collapses.

Looking at the jetgo RPT videos on youtube, it's concerning to see, that most of the flights are less than 50% full, probably 30% would be a better figure.
There are too many empty seats on every video posted.
No company can make money or break even with poor payloads.
A month ago, i checked the jetgo website and i thought i saw a photo of an Emb145 in Taiwan, i checked the website a few days latter and the photo disappeared.
I thought jetgo's main goal was to specialise mostly in charter flights (FIFO), not get involved in RPT services.
If only 2 aircraft are flying during any time, i'd say most people will assume the company is struggling, how long will they struggle, is anyone's guess.
