In other news, seems to be two major changes to DJs Tasmania services with the cutbacks effective May 7 (going by DJ booking engine). SYD-LST appears to be canned, and whilst the SYD-HBA is staying double daily, DJ have followed JQ and canned the early morning SYD departure from HBA, so only one DJ aircraft will O/N in HBA from May 7. Very strange move in my opinion given that JQ had just handed DJ all the yield on a plate, and DJ have just tossed it away  !
Bit sneaky of DJ to say in their press release that they are not withdrawing from any markets. Obviously by markets they mean destinations, not individual routes  . |
These recent moves by both JQ and DJ make it impossible to get from HBA to SYD early morning. Why wouldn't have DJ have kept the 6.30am HBA-SYD flight, they would have picked up an awful lot of business travellers due to JQ re-timing their 6.10am flight to later in the morning.
