They might be helping increase cashflow in the regions with extra travelers but the airline itself is still trying to establish market share and is yet to get anywhere near a break even point.

Why force Airnz to operate at a loss on proven marginal routes while delivering a kick in the teeth to a small operator that's meeting demand with exceptional service??

Jetstar are not the white knights people here are hailing them to be. It was a PR move at low risk using ageing idle assets that otherwise would've been stored or sold off.

They have not once done any unscheduled or charter services in NZ and they won't start for Blenheim.

These aircraft are doing about 9 hours flight time a day generally, so little things break often and the spare aircraft is essentially in the rotation with the other four.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052383161330643370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397738201762479975.post-76323327582951626772016-11-25T02:23:45.933+13:002016-11-25T02:23:45.933+13:00Jetstar actually have a spare Q300 as they only us...Jetstar actually have a spare Q300 as they only use 4 to cover their existing schedules to/from Auckland.
