BAe146 Replacement?

Now that British Aerospace has closed its BAe146/AVRO RJ/RJX production line, what is the most likely aircraft type to replace the 146's operated by National Jet and QF (Southern)?

According to NJS most of the 146's can and will be kept in service for another 10-15 years. Very forward looking team over there!

The Dornier 728 is the word for the BAe replacement and the 928 for the B737-300 replacement.

From the November Edition of Regional Airline World. "On the 728 programme the first aircraft remains on target for first flight towards end of March 2002. " The are trying to arrange visits to ILA in May and Farnborough in July.
