LEA-PER
QF2429 1305-1530 M.W....

PER-LEA-PER will really push the range of the Q400. Especially during Summer if the loads are high and there's 60min weather holding.

So GET is a new destination for the Qantas group? They could open up Albany and Esperance as well.

I hope they open up both ESP and ALH ... great landscape photography in both places! Would be nice to fly rather than drive from Perth.

Where next for QantasLink in WA?
 

The Schedule provided by Anthony above leaves the Q400 at Perth from 0930 to 1635 on most days. So there is a 6 hour plus timeframe for QF to open a new route somewhere.
Where would they look at next Albany or Esperance is a possiblity and there is the likes of Carnavon to the north. I can rule out a return to Kununurra out of range they could return to that market with the 717.
If there is a second Q400 going west too that also may open up some new destinations on QF's routemap . We shall see..

Yep, one will be an op spare.
Q400 no 23 is marked for extra QLD flying from Mid Oct. (EMD,MOV,GLT,HVB)
Q400 no 24,25 are marked for Perth.

All of these aircraft have already been delivered and are in service around the place.

As always, no specific rego's are marked for Perth at this stage.

Anyone know how the fleet will be rotated in and out of PER? Ferry ADL via KGI perhaps?

G'Day Brad,

Most likely direct out of ADL. It's only 1200nm which the Q400 could do on a ferry flight subject to winds. Line Maintenance will be done in PER. Not sure who but suspect Cobham/Network.

Hi All

Well 21 Nov. snuck up pretty quickly this year! The GET services have started... is anyone in WA and knows the rego of the 1st unit over there? Also, does anyone know how it got across there?

Cheers
Rowan

I think the Dash 8 route was SYD - ADL - KGI - PER

2 Q400s are in PER

VH-LQD which routed SYD-ADL-KGI-PER on the 10th
and VH-LQG which routed CNS-AYQ-PER on the 19th
