Fleet replacement will unfortunately be the ultimate death of Rex.

FlyPelican started direct flights to Newcastle from Adelaide
First flight was on Thursday. Anyone able to comment on load/acceptance?
An interesting development in the business model for Pelican. I would have thought Jetgo with its smaller aircraft, access to GDS etc would have been a better bet. I guess Pelican has the visibility in the NTL market to hopefully make up for that.

So it can be done. REX is being rational with its 340s - using the most cost effective option currently available.

Jetgo ceases Tamworth-Brisbane route after competition from Fly Corporate
So Jetgo finally bows to the inevitable. Brisbane-Tamworth was never a smart choice for Jetgo, especially with the limited schedule they offered. It's much more suitable for FlyCorporate's 340Bs and decent frequency.
I suspect Jetgo is struggling for passenger numbers on a few routes. Their one positive surprise packet is Wollongong-Melbourne, where they're struggling to put enough seats into the market.
It will be interesting to watch how this business model pans out.

Jetgo reduction
Unfortunately I’d say that was inevitable. A month or two ago Fly Corporate announced they were increasing their schedule to Tamworth, compared to Jetgo having a reduced one from a few years ago when they started. Pretty obvious who was winning that battle.
WLG to MEL and BNE should work with the ERJ. Likewise MEL-DBO. I’m surprised they haven’t tried MEL-Tamworth yet!
If the ERJ had the performance MEL-PLO would be a good route as well. I’d imagine they’d definitely be able to do daily if not twice daily after a while.

Has FlyPelican quit SYD-NTL?
Looks like FlyPelcan is no longer offering flights between Sydney and Newcastle.
The airline's website route map still displays the route, and there seem to have been no announcements cancelling the route, but the flights no longer show up on the booking engine. Can anyone confirm?

Looks like it has been replaced with a single NTL-TRO-NTL service each week to cycle the aircraft around.
Probably doesn’t make much commercial sense with Rex also on the route.
