The only viable solution would appear to be to extend their orders for ATR72-600s, and either suffle the Q300s down to fill some of Eagle's routes, or buy ATR42-600s to suppliment/replace the DHC8s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397738201762479975.post-33172507827575565782012-08-16T20:08:25.440+12:002012-08-16T20:08:25.440+12:00The article is accurate, eleven are flying with se...The article is accurate, eleven are flying with seven grounded.

How many more times does the fleet have to be grounded before theyll take some action. My flight to Timaru was cancelled the other day. They rebooked me on a Q300 flight. Seemed strange landing at such a small airport in a biggish aircraft. Also my flight out of Wanaka was cancelled, so I was rebooked on a flight out of Queenstown. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
