Airwork/Texel/Toll
Seems like the shoe has dropped- Airwork has lost the Toll contract, being taken over by Texel.
You can only try and make relic 50 year old jets work for so long, They should have upgraded their fleet years ago.

They waited until the old rust buckets got grounded with cracks, then the light bulb moment came ‘oh perhaps let’s order some -800Fs’
Oh that’s right it’s a multi year wait for those at the moment. Fools.

But it meant that Toll had the choice of a provider who was not meeting service delivery requirements, but might if, at dsome stage, it upgraded it's fleet, and one that HAD the fleet and was ready to go.
Airwork could have gotten -800 stock frames for a song two years ago, and been up and running iwth them now. Thet chose to milk the last drop from the classics and now have so much scap.

Have they lost the whole contract? Texel only have 2 airframes and only one of them just relocated to AUS. They've only taken over the runs that Air Nauru were doing.

Texel have deep pockets from Bahrain, as well as more planes back there, whether they are spare or not is another question, but they can probably sort that out quick
ASL (new Pionair owners) have a 738F earmarked for Aus as well.
According to Planespotters, Texel in Bahrain have 5 airframes, a 300, two 700's and two 800's. Unless they have no work there, I can't see them having the ability to take over much else of Airworks jobs at the moment. Airwork have 3 in BNE at any one time, let alone the other 13 scattered around.

Are you 100% certain it's Texel? Information on who is taking over from Airwork is very secretive at this stage.
Texel looking to recruit direct entry captains for next year, so if your overseas and want a change in lifestyle with a Brisbane base then get your CV in asap assuming you have time on the 800.

I'm told that they are taking over the Toll routes Nauru have been doing initially.
I'd think ASL is more the danger for the NZ freight operators. They have the resources (121 737's worldwide across multiple companies) and deep pockets to go hard if they wanted to.
