VB changes timetable for CFS and other routes

[Jakef]

Link.

This is a bit of a bugger to be honest. It will just allow Qantas early morning flights to become more expensive.

[Jakef]

And I just realised I was booked on one of these now non-existent flights in September! Bugger! Now to find out what they will do about it. Hopefully a refund and I'll book Qantas!!

Only guessing, but by then the ATR could be operating the flight.

[Jakef]

They use E190s on this route in the mornings and certain afternoons, and sometimes 737-700's and rarely 737-800's.
Would be awesome to see the ATR's on this route though! Maybe they could keep the early morning flights and use the smaller ATR's

I hope they do the same on OOL-NTL, which they dropped.

[Jakef]

When I rang their guest centre to enquire they told me that was the only flight they were dropping, but they obviously did not know about the CFS one yet.

[Jakef]

Also, looking at their online timetable it shows they have started using the E170 for their new 'morning' flight. Maybe we will see the ATR's on this route then?

[Rob R]

ATR's will be on the route, the plan is everywhere a Qlink Dash 8 goes so will the ATR (up to distances of 300nm) which will also mean the ATR's overnighting in some regional cities.

The 190/170 routes are very fluid at the moment as the company prepares for the DEP of the 170's and working out which routes will get the 190, a mix of 190 and ATR and only ATR flying.

Maybe the TSV-ROK and TSV-CNS (373km) will go to an ATR operation. Will they start new cities as well. Bundaberg and Gladstone are the big cities they not yet serve in QLD.

Have DJ also cut or cutting CNS-AKL route? Anyone know?
