Jetstar to expand NZ domestic ops

PR release due at noon Sydney time.

Quote:

There is likely to be good news for travellers on Thursday, with Jetstar flagging a media announcement at 2pm.

The low-cost airline, which is owned by Qantas, said the news will cover New Zealand domestic expansion plans.

Prime Minister John Key and Qantas chief executive Allan Joyce will be in Auckland to make the announcement.

APX Travel chief executive Andrew Dale said Jetstar could be either adding a new domestic destination or "beefing up" its domestic network.

Having both Joyce and Key attending the announcement indicated it was significant news, he said

Strong rumour that it will be in the form of propjets surplus to QFlink needs.

Looks like the rumours are on the money, five Q300s heading across the ditch, presume it's the five in storage at Tamworth.

Theres currently only 4 at TMW as SBB went back as an operational spare, but I'm sure they will steal the op spare from ADL or BNE to cover it.

Will be interesting to see how they go once they get start, good to see some competition in the New Zealand market segments.

I wonder if the Dash8's will retain their Australian registrations, or wear NZ rego's.

All the A320's are VH so I wonder.

p.s. The Dash8 looks beautiful in Jetstar livery. I hope maybe one day we see some like that in OZ !!

If the Dash 8 is successful for JQ in NZ, I wonder if they will introduce them into the Australian segments as well?

In some ways its the prefect plan for LCC, such a small overhead bin that you have to check luggage, and pay for the privilege.

Please don't wish such things. That would only serve to undermine pilot terms and conditions in this country even more.
