The ACCC has denied Virgin Australia Airlines and Alliance Aviation Services’ (ASX:AQZ) application for re-authorisation of their agreement to coordinate and jointly tender for and supply services to corporate customers, mainly for fly-in fly-out employees.

“This application involves the second and third largest providers of FIFO services jointly tendering and coordinating services. The airlines have not demonstrated to us that there’s sufficient public benefit to outweigh the likely detriment from their proposed coordination, so we have decided not to re-authorise the conduct,” ACCC Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said.

“We’re concerned that continuing the charter alliance is likely to reduce the number of bidders in tender processes for charter services, particularly when there would only be one other large provider of these services, and so the potential incentives to reduce service levels or raise prices for FIFO charter services would remain.”

I remembered at test flight with no following rev service

Alliance announced today that QF have exercised another 4 E190 options taking their wet lease numbers to 22. Announcement also mentions that 6 E190’s were modified for extended range operations and have held CASA EDTO approval since July 2022.

QF references today using E190’s on BNE WLG (daily) and BNE HIR (3 times weekly). Presumably more international routes to come. Nothing came of the earlier conjecture of DRW SIN flights.

I wonder if the 6 E.190 modified ones are the 6 VH-UZ's, but then XFC, XFL and XFM are all coded as "LR" and have a higher Maximum takeoff weight of 50,300 than the rest of the fleet at 47,790 which are coded "IGW". Interesting though the one which has not yet flown, XVQ, the white one, is shown at 51,800. I found this on the CASA listing.

Probably not up to capacity, LAME’s are in scarce supply at present and I don’t imagine Rocky is at the top of the desired locations:

1. Water views normally around Christmas when the Fitzroy floods
2. Local youth are so bored their main aim is to see how quickly the bulls ***** are removed from the various statues around town when they are not committing more serious crimes.
