Not one route has a daily frequency, and most if not all destinations lack enough flights to justify anything but a casual workforce.

Your points are all very appropriate and open to debate . I’ve been around a long time , I’ve seen this type of operation come and go over the years , both in Australia and overseas . I wish them all the best and look forward to reviewing their viability in a years time , unless of course they are just another “ come and gone “ airline by that time .

Also some interesting route choices.. MQL MCY? While MQL has seen VA 738s, that was to MEL .. could a MAX with pax/fuel even take off on MQL's 1800m runway?
|
I would imagine a MAX would have no problems at all with MQL 1800M runway . QF operate the 737-800 off HTI with its 1750M runway to MEL , which is considerably farther in distance than MQL- MCY .

738 only needs 4000ft at minimums, MQLs 6000ft would limit MTOW to 150000lbs on a 30 degree day at sea level
|
Doing a bit of mental arithmetic, it’s MTOW would about 32000 lbs under its max allowable MTOW of 182000lbs . Assuming that 32000lbs is fuel , that would leave about 6 tonnes of fuel after conversion to kg as it’s fuel upload , which would give it about 2’5 hrs of flying time or 1200 NM . I’m not a pilot , and not sure if any of this is indeed logical , but I had some fun trying to work it out . Cheers one and all .
