“Qantas and Strategic Airlines have together sought more than the available capacity,” the IASC said.

Its more interesting to see what happens with the ADF contract, having an A330 sitting around is not a cheap exercise, and there does seem to be some smoke in terms of the tender process and the winning bidder having some unfair help? Compass Mk3 or am I being unkind?

The 330 seems to spend a lot of time parked at BNE......
