That's great if you need a brake assembly.


How about more like the Embraer ( I think it was) with the coffee/soft drink spill that created some electrical issues? That need parts and possible some damage that requires some structural drawings and repairs?

Do Jetgo have good credit with maintenance and parts suppliers? Or say Airnorth for a Charter to move booked paxs?

Err, not really. They dropped Tamworth WEF 14 May and they don't fly West of Essendon yet. It appears to me they don't want to go head to head with VA or QF as we know who would win that battle, anti dumping legislation or not. They pick thin routes that are not well served. Seems like a good plan to me. Then, I am a pilot so what would I know?

As for cash, I agree with you. They have been trading for six years so they seem viable and one hopes they have cash on hand for the imminent expansion.

Flight aware indicates they're down to a 1 aircraft schedule as of 04/05. Combined with recent hull & engine reposessions, one could be forgiven for thinking the end is very near.

Can I assume that Flight Aware uses ADS B information for tracking? I remember seeing somewhere that Jetgo had an exemption from ADS B fitment, so would that invalidate your assumptions about their activity? Are the repossessions fact?

https://www.casa.gov.au/files/casaex17079pdf Although it does say it was repealed at the end of March 2018. Perhaps there was an extension?

Edit to add: JGB and JGR are both shown on Flightradar24 as having flown today.

Well that pays bills!

As for exemption of ADS B that is only a postponement of a cost.

Aircraft require engines to fly, how many are on aircraft today? Short answer is not enough for all to fly and it has been that way for some time.

VH-JZG (an E135, I think) was the only one that did not have ADS-B and it does not seem to have been around for a while. Spotters reckon that it was the only RPT jet in Oz that was not equipped by the mandate deadline.

Very reliable source..
One airframe repoed
4 engines repoed
JGZ in Alliance hanger (sans engines) at request of the Lessor.

"whoop whoop" "terrain terrain" "pull up" "whoop whoop"

It's what I call the "insolvency paradox":
The appearance of expansion is maintained to attract investment despite the fact that the company is about to spectacularly go tits-up

​​​​​

YMEN ground handlers stopping work might be another sign. Or a 1-2 aircraft schedule. Or massive pilot turnover. Or pilots/contractors not getting paid on time. Or thousands of displaced punters. Or cannibalized airframes. Or ongoing CASA surveillance. Or an 80 page dossier submitted to REPCON/Carmody by a group of incredibly concerned current and former engineers/pilots/flight attendants earlier this year.

But, If that is not occurring then there is no evidence of impending doom.

Monday just gone

Looking at the jetgo RPT videos on youtube, it's concerning to see, that most of the flights are less than 50% full, probably 30% would be a better figure.
There are too many empty seats on every video posted.
No company can make money or break even with poor payloads.

A month ago, i checked the jetgo website and i thought i saw a photo of an Emb145 in Taiwan, i checked the website a few days latter and the photo disappeared.
I thought jetgo's main goal was to specialise mostly in charter flights (FIFO), not get involved in RPT services.

If only 2 aircraft are flying during any time, i'd say most people will assume the company is struggling, how long will they struggle, is anyone's guess.
