That's got to be one of the prettiest looking tails I've ever seen on a 340.

I tried digging up some more details about the Timor Air proposal. There website is still under construction, and Wikipedia had barely anything on them at all.

What a/c would they be inclined to operate? At the time they had planned to partner up with SkyAirWorld's E190s, but of course S9 folded.

Maybe a VC A320? But that probably wouldn't be sensible capacity-wise. They could buy/lease an E170/E190 off DJ?

Sorry Wayne, I was only suggesting that they could do that, not saying that they will. Since DJ are going to drop the E170s sometime soon, I would think they could lease them out (or sell), especially to start up carriers like this one here.

But if I had a link, I would happily give it to you! :D

Should the title of this thread be Saab 340 in stead of dash 8? Or I am missing something?
