Feenix, yes, the Marshalls are a bit off line and perhaps information filtering through to this part of the world is a little out of date. Working for the local Government one can not say too much...

the ERJ145

Wish we had a -145 up here. MAJ is just about right for regional services in this region, giving it the ability to fly direct into NAN, INU, HIR, TRW & westbound with a one-stop service into GUM. But...

Look inwards to the Norfolk airline management

There a lot of facts missing from this thread. For a start Wilson walked away from his Kiwi operation owing ON many thousands in unpaid charters. However that was a decade ago. Perhaps in his own...

ON U/S again today

Heard Our favorite airline was U/S again today. So much for the advantages of ON's single 733 vs a number of 732's in the OzJet fleet. NLK folk will be happy to know that they do have a service...

OzJet crews

There's one fairly senior OzJet captain that lived up our way some years back who is the laziest bloke that ever flew an aircraft. The engineers called him 'sea-gull'. Even instructing in the Sim...

ON back to old tricks

It seems that the check-book at ON H.Q. in BNE has been 'misplaced' for a while. No pennies in the petty cash tin to pay qsome bills of late and, it appears, that the agreement between NAC (Nauru Air...

Red face Winter is on it's way

Simply put, 733F's do not have the payload over the MEL-PER sector. With winter winds they will have diversions; enroute fuel uplifts; and other operational matters that will compromise the economics...
