Alliance acquires Austrian Airlines’ Fokker fleet
http://australianaviation.com.au/201...-fokker-fleet/ Thats one way of ensuring spares and a/c for the future. VARA might be interesting in a couple |
It is interesting how they were downsizing their Fokker fleet a few months ago, am I missing something.
|
There cross ownership of the Slovakian maintenance facility and access to the European charter market are clearly of interest as well, with the potential slowdown in resource related charters here.
|
The a/c sold were Flight-West originals that were the 1st & 2nd to see service in Oz.
Alliance recently announced that they were planning to fly the F70/100 for at least the next decade. So, a secure spares. The Austrian fleet is well known as Alliance has purchased their aircraft previously. Based on info I have from ex-Oz, the price was cheap. |
OE-LVL is on its way to Australia over the new few days.
VH-UQW ferried to WGA for repaint a few days back. |
LVL arrived in Brissie on Boxing Day
