New Planes for Air Nelson
 

I hear its the ATR 42, anyone able to verify it yet?

Nah think your source is wrong.... Rumor is Dash 8 Q300.... apparently came hand in hand with the Air New Zealand Boeing order. The official announcement is ment to be at the end of the month... well it was actually ment to be at the end of last month!! Have they decided on ground course dates yet?? Apparently they have a full course to get through... then anyone know when next interview calls will be?? I heard in October....

mmm, could be!
 

both same seat capacity and similar weights

Ah yes.... But the engineers are not preparing for the ATR's....

Has anybody asked the refuellers?

Boeing and Bombardier together in a joint order? Don't think so...

Saab 340b

You heard it here first!:ok:

Except the stock exchange to be advised mid week ( Wed ) to halt share trading in ANZ with the announcement on either Friday or early the following week.

Dash 8 - 300's with a sim thrown in to be based in AA

So it's safe to say that still nothing has changed.

Saab 340Bplus is the plane....
 

ex Saab aircraft leasing.

NS to get 20 in total, goss is Eagle to get some...

:hmm:

340Bplus Info

Pardon?
 

Eagle to get some? Thats a new one.......you must be with Eagle and farkin hoping that rumour gets some traction!!:p

Of course, no one nose, except Nosey;)

Nosey

Long time listener first time caller......... haven't heard from you in quite a while.

What do you want? Dash 300Q!!!

Kavu, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaateee

Looks like the waka wit da boys is going to end up in the
northern Hemi sphere eh bro?

Kia ora Car tower

Nosey:ok:

OK, announcement on Monday I hear, and a bit higher up in the food chain source says its the Dash 8 300, and they've just discovered they are going to be caught short for space in Auckland when they get parked up, due to the greater space required compared to the Saab. So guess Airwork might have the squeeze put on them around the corner there!!

Rumour from the engineering base at Air Nelson is that it will be the Dash 8

Cue x-files music
 

Was at the BIG HQ today - don't ask - and spied for a nano-second in the office behind the office I was in - as one of the gentlemen in the meeting came from said office - a logo'd desk model of......the Dash 8!

It luckily wasn't spied that I'd spied it. Though I guess now the spies will prob now that I did spy it.

Was it just a pretty desk model for an exec, or a model future?
:hmm: :suspect:
