Most likely it'll be ATR42's as well which won't have a problem at any of the Rex ports.
If their pockets are deep enough, there is an ATR42-600STOL http://www.atraircraft.com/newsroom/...s-1571-en.html 800m puts Lord Howe as a possibility when the tender for those services is up next. |

Given the operating model to date, I'd be very surprised if the discussion was around new build ATR. ATR also facilitates a leasing program, and I'd suspect quite a number of 72-600 will come onto the leasing market soon unless VARA continues largely unchanged.

Kent, the ATRs aren't part of VARA. They're on the VAA AOC along with most 737s. The crew are part of VAA with their own EBA. VARA is just F100 and A320. All parties have been suspiciously quiet on the fate of VARA. It would be relatively easy to hive off VARA, it's complementary but not a core part of the business. It could go to a new owner and be contracted to fly some flights on behalf of Virgin.

Thanks Yusef and Mark - not sure how I'd missed that. They may still come onto the leasing market if VA reduces regional ops.

There are still four in storage for three years that are yet to find a new home.

Rumor has it, that REX are negotiating for the lease 10 X B737 that are surplus to VA requirements.

Does anyone know if the first aircraft is still planned to arrive this weekend?
