AN staff memo: Start now 1st Feb ???
AN Update . .A news report for Ansett employees . .AN Update 016 . .30 January 2002
TESNA START-UP SCHEDULE TO OPERATE POST 1 FEB: Further to yesterday’s announcement of an extension of the settlement period prior to Tesna gaining ownership of the Ansett mainline airline business, the Administrators have today confirmed the proposed Tesna start-up schedule will operate from Friday 1 February 2002.
The new schedule will increase weekly flights from 424 to 530 over eight routes covering the five mainland capital cities. However, SYD-ADL-SYD direct flights have not been included in this initial start up schedule. Customers with bookings for this service will transit through Melbourne.
Full service will return to our airline after settlement of the sale to Tesna. Consequently, Ansett’s A320 fleet will remain in a single class configuration and in-flight service on board Ansett’s aircraft will remain in its current “no frills” format with water refreshments available for all customers. However, existing catering arrangements will remain on SYD-PER-SYD and MEL-PER-MEL routes.
Golden Wing Lounges will be open, offering tea/coffee services and vending machines.
For customers who have purchased business class fares in anticipation of the commencement of the new full service airline, refunds will be offered to reduce these fares to the full economy fare level.
There will be no strategic adjustment to current airfare levels as fares offered during February and beyond are industry competitive. Other business-as-usual tactical fare initiatives are constantly being evaluated and will be considered, if required.

Nothing much, it's just AN Kick-Start operating the Tesna schedule. Basically, business as usual.
Business Class availability is 0 until 01MAR according to Galileo.
Cheers,
Justin

What it is, is FLEW having AN3 built up and expanded at someone elses expense while they sit back and decide when or IF it will suit them to take over the liability.. .The Administrators are once again losing other peoples money, unchecked, to the benefit of a couple of shrewd chappies and at the expense of the duped Australian taxpayer!!!
