^ Isn't a DHC-6 a Twin Otter?
If DHC-8 was meant, then the equiv ATR would be the '72' |

DHC-6-400 is the new build Twin Otter being built by Viking Air in Canada - but I think it will still only seat 19 people , and I don't know that it would have the range to make it to LHI with any sort of decent payload?

As a country Queenslander, I am disappointed that Brisbane-Emerald flights didn't get announced by Virgin. (It has long been a rumour!) Most flights on this run on the QF Q400s are either full or cost over $500 for a one-way seat. There ain't much competition out here anymore with Macair gone too!

New virgin routes
I wonder where Virgin will take the next Embraer to?
PER-OOL would be a good opportunity they are the two biggest cities in OZ not yet connected. They tried it with a 737 and stopped it. Maybe it work better with a smaller jet. Does the Embraer have the legs to do PER-OOL non stop. I believe they still got 6 more on order. When is the next one due? Where do you reckon they will fly them next to guys? |

I don't think the E190 has the legs to do that.

It does have the 'legs' to do that actually.

With all thats happening in the airline world I doubt there will any radical new routes......
And if what Lukas said earlier about HBA-ADL 'possibly' being cancelled I again raise doubts over HBA-CBR......... Maybe it will work with the smaller aircraft.
