Do the same crew do the turnaround?

So it’s either an airport management directive or a cost cutting move on Virgin’s end. No doubt it costs a bit to run.

900 points for $90 spend which will stack with the 3 week/18k offer. 400 points on freezer over $10

I wonder if reducing flights simply means sending in a cheaper subsidiary like National Jet Systems (A220)

Are they intending to send the old NGs to a 4th D check? Or is that it, off to the scrap yard?

After 4 months of 10k offers it seems the love has now ended. Off to do a 3 week 18k Woolies offer. No idea who will get my December spend, the ball is in your court Colesworth! Bribe away 🤣

The base fare structure with discounts is probably a bit scammy as the pricing would no doubt be the same if the program didn’t exist, but the discount add ons can be worth it.

All 787s now back in Australia it seems, hopefully a clear run through peak, it appears they have a spare up their sleeve looking at the schedules over peak.

VKJ back today after a month in HKG. Back in service this arvo. Interesting that they are getting some work done prior to entering a heavy check next year. Must have some serious issues to fix.

Smart I guess. The overall seat count across the Melbourne Basin into Bali won’t change on JQs end, but they pickup a whole bunch of assumed funding and subsidies, so overall seat cost should come down. Remains to be seen what the taxpayer gains but that’s a story for another day.

I spoke too soon in the other thread. March next year . I somewhat believe this would be a deal with the Victorian Government considering the last Avalon deal is expiring, and that big terminal is sitting idle. The last 10 year deal with Labor ends this year. I wonder where the bilaterals are...

First big offer in around a year. $20 over weekly spend but will just build up on basics.

KLM is also on par cost wise in Y against the LCCs. I have always found SQ pricey for this route.

I recall having those change issues months ago. I imagine it’s old IT and new IT not talking to each other and the fix is complex and costly. Seen that before in many corporates.

Just reported but unconfirmed that UPS and FedEx have grounded the MD11 fleet. Both make up a small number of the total fleet only around 5-7%. Needless to say we might see an acceleration in these getting retired, considering how little both both have left in the fleets with intentions to...

$12 for an exit row seem good however.

These aircraft that have entered service have had a pretty patchy week, certainly didn’t get any major maintenance before entering service when looking at the downtime. Continued delays on one, another got stuck in Busselton, ferried back empty to Perth.

Good for competition which is probably a bit stale here in terms of bus, don’t get me started on rail.

Well they certainly will over hype this one, it’s a -1000 with an extra tank, it’s not the new space shuttle. Expect a monthly drip feed until launch to keep the free press going.

Now will they get the interior and all the bells and whistles correct on the first go this time!
