Air NZ to operate Australia - Norfolk Island flights

[Andrew Johnson]

are Our Airline operating underwritten air services to NLK until NZ take over ?

Surely Our Airline could have done it cheaper than NZ ?

What's to become of Our Airline now ?

[Sarah C]

Our Airline have two aircraft - one for NLK exclusively, the other for the other destinations like Kirabati, Narau etc. I can't see them flying to other destinations with the second aircraft - they might sell that one aircraft and operate with one only to maintain the remaining services.

Yes Sarah is correct, they operate a weekly flight from BNE to Nauru.This used to be twice weekly and may well do that again ?.It has already hurt Our Airline as numerous staff have left and most will be made redundant.

I believe they may chase more refugee and perhaps mining flights for aircraft 1 but i do believe that aircraft 2 will be sold.

Our Airline normally has 1 of their aircraft pull double duty when one is in for maintenance. Now if VHNLK is sold will they have to lease another aircraft to cover for VHINU when it is in for maintenance?

They Our Airline could find a new use for it, by transporting refugees from Christmas island to Nauru if the government can find a solution and get the legislation through parliment.

Without wanting to start a war on legislative rights or wrongs....

There'll be very little to no market at all if they find the right solution and the boats come only at pre-Rudd rates.

but Christmas Island - Nauru is 6861km, - out of range of most 737s

any stop in Aussie will ensure any good lawyer will get an injunction to stop their transit, so their claims can be properly assessed

maybe the right solution is for Our Airline to fly shuttle flights CGK-XCH

The Skytraders A319 (LR) has the job of ferrying the refugees around.

Our airline also has been flying them around the last few months!
