Lloyd looks more like a light grey,also very hard to see in the photo is "Spirit of Solomons" just below the windows,even hard to see in the full size photo:eek:

Nice colours. Will it just do the BNE-HIR run or will she operate new flights eg to SYD or AKL etc?

Closer look...

BNE-HIR only, no SYD or MEL.

Possibly other routes out of HIR around the Pacific.

One more shot of it today,still in MEL.

any idea when it will start flying for IE? I am contemplating flying them late August and would rather this new bird than a Stratgeic wet lease!

Strategic are not flying for Solomons currently .It has been Our Airline for past 3-4 weeks now.The agreement with Strategic concluded.H4-BUS still awaiting Solomons(CAA or whatever they call themselves over there) and CASA approvals.

SOLOMONSA320 start of commercial ops 15AUG
 

according to CRS's, Solomon's are using a 733 Sun 14AUG (Our Airline ?) & an A320 Mon 15AUG, so presume this is H4-BUS.

Heard talk it might be operating across the Tasman but not on an existing route. Could this mean Palmerston North could get int ops back ?

^^I thought that Solomons were considering returning to AKL

Andrew, remember this will be a Solomon registered airline and i don't believe they will be allowed to operate RPT Australia-NZ services ??

Mayby charters for a Australian company??
