Is this really going to happen? Or does a couple of SAAB photos with KRA photo shopped onto them means its a done deal?
I doubt Air NZ will just let him into the market. Even if it means losing money.

Good lord thrusters......A) they are not operating RJ's. B) the routes they are looking at are different to Air NZ (see map on website). C) EW is involved so it probably won't get further than a website. D) Saabs are not the most efficient, I flew them years ago, lovely to fly but not the best economy, which probably explains in part why Link now fly Dash 8s....sorry, Q400s
I flew RJs too, the CRJ kind, and in no way would they make any sense on such short sectors where they would only beat a Turboprop by a few minutes, at a much greater fuel penalty.
Interesting to see how it unfolds...or folds...

I would have thought the recent Jetstar announcement would have killed what little chance this had of getting off the ground. Granted they aren't flying all the same routes KRA are supposed to be, but probably all of the (possibly) profitable ones...

Interesting that the FO minimums listed on their website call for experienced and type rated pilots, but the Stuff article quotes management as saying newbie cadets from Ardmore!
