VARA to replace ATR with F70 on Qld. run

[Ryan K]

Sorry for going slightly off topic, but does anyone know why VA stopped their MEL-LST ATR serivce on a Sunday? Granted, it was only one flight a week, but it hasn't been operated in months to the best of my knowledge.

This week Alliance commenced BNE-Cloncurry,Mt Isa and some BNE-CNS services with F100's operating for VA..

I noticed in the Virgin Timetables from next week things ramp up with up to 19 BNE-CNS a week and 4 BNE-ISA,2 BNE-CNJ and 4 BNE-ROK departures a week replacing E-190,737 AND atr FLIGHTS.

Looks LIKE the QQ/VA Alliance is ramping up.

Cheers.

seems to be a mixed bag when you look at the booking section with some days its listed as alliance and some days virgin for the same flight number. compared to how they list it in the timetables section

QQ currently doing 300 hours per month of wet lease flying for VAA, or 1-2 E Jets worth.

Just had a play with the booking search.

What a mess, this will only serve to confuse pax.
