JetStar NZ

[74world]

Anybody heard that Jetstar NZ has withdrawn 2 A/C from their fleet?=startWhat’s happening?

[ECAMACTIONSCOMPLETE]

1 airframe out of CHC to QantasLink (network aviation) in Perth, leading to the suspension of CHC-SYD and I’m guessing a reduction in some domestic services.

Might get replaced by one of the A321neoLRs that are coming next year but where those planes will be based hasn’t been announced yet.

C Checks coming up on Q300 Regional fleet?

As above, one airframe removed to send to network aviation. Has led to the CHC - SYD cancellation, no impact on crew numbers and an overall 5% reduction in flying, possibility of a replacement airframe middle of next year but that is not guaranteed.

Hi Ollie, thanks for the info.
Mid next year? so no more recruitment in NZ then.......until a new A/C arrives...

[Ollie Onion]

They still have a few coming through the system as they were woefully undercrewed anyway. If you are not in the process then probably next year at the earliest.
