Is EMD capable of taking 717s? That seems to be another high-growth area?

There is 22 717-200s stored in victorville waitng new owners. Source wiki.
So Cobham may not want to stop at 13 (unlucky number) and bring over more from the U.S.

Out of the current 717 fleet bases:
1 CNS
3 DRW
7 PER (their biggest)

QF plan to deploy the larger 738s on more of the PER-PHE/KTA/BME runs so this could free up the 717s to be redeployed to BNE. Add the Q400 flights to KGI could also replace some 717 flying.

A lot of those stored 717's were some of the last built - 2005 - still young.

Snap them up QF.

Evening all,

Dragging this old thread up to report that B717 VH-NXN launched QantasLink services from Brisbane to Gladstone, Rockhampton, and Mackay last month.

Over this last weekend, it was swapped with VH-NXQ which is now flying these runs to Central Queensland.

Photos on the Blog if you are interested!

Cheers
Damian

The first swap using the new QF1798/1799 rotation through ASP! Any word yet on which aircraft will transfer into the BNE base to take up the additional line of flying?

I presume once VH-NXR has finished its pre-service checks here in Adelaide. It will get sent up to Brisbane.
