REX to transition to ATRs, start domestic jet ops
What's Rex charging Carlton supporters to get to Brisbane this weekend?
…..and Brisbane supporters to get to Melbourne for the Granny the week after?

Some one tod me REX wants to offload up to 30 SAABs and is looking to Q400s firstly for NJE and they will do some REX fill in flying and then as a SAAB replacement especially where QF are on the same routes and there is no security screening

Selling 30 saabs wont even offset their 30m loss. Whos paying for the q400s?
Looks like Rex have put on all of one extra MEL-BNE return flight on the Friday and one extra BNE-MEL return on the Sunday for next weekend.

Not that easy putting on extra flights short notice when you have a limited fleet size and availability.
Has Bonza put on Sunny Coast to Melb?
A great opportunity to cash in but ya gotta have the availability and protect your current schedule.

Not sure how an airline suddenly 'puts on' an extra flight at two weeks notice, when they have only a few planes and fixed rosters for staff. Maybe Sharpie will fly it himself.
Is it the same person telling you Rex is getting 777s? A few more Q400s for NJE sounds plausible, replacing the rest of the SAAB fleet with Q400s, a fairy tale of epic proportions... decent used Q400s are in the region of $10 USD-$20 USD million a piece, and leasing them will reflect that. Given a SAAB 340 is probably worth less than a million USD for a good one it's not going to be a good swap rate for something that only carries double the SAAB at much greater cost factor. It would make more economic sense for Rex to buy/lease new ATRs than go used Q400s, but even that will involve a lot of capital.

They won't be getting new birds
The Q400s will help standardise the fleet and REX will only buy 10-20 year old frames
Make no mistake ZL and VA are both in talks with QR, but QR still believe they will get extra flights and the SYD-CBR tag is still a viable option
That said VA is the preferred option although ZL is both cheaper and has more growth potential domestically and a larger potential ROI
As for the Syd-cbr tag flight, it’s not doable while the Adelaide-Melbourne flights exist, the ones where QR “forgot” to open up seats for sale ex Adelaide to Doha when services commenced…..

Buying a stake in REX understandably would be a much smaller upfront cost for starters
They you weigh that up against a VA investment where Bain has been running the show for a few years to dazzle a potential investor with amazing figures, in other words VA will be as good as it gets for an investor
ZL on the other hand is a somewhat fledgling jet operator with untapped potential
Grow the fleet
Add new routes
Advertise
Add FFPs
Add better lounges
Chase corporate
Etc
A bit of investment for a potentially large return and the addition of widebodies for Europe the US and Asia if ZL remains over 50% Australian owned

The Q400 only worked at QLink because QF group used its power to buy a bunch of them, and then probably helped with other costs along the way. They then get full loads from on carriage and the QF groups marketing pull.
Rex operating a 777 to Europe. Fantasy. I assume you are pulling our leg?
