Interesting to see the QF group is going double daily on BNE-NRT. I would hope they have different timings between the QF and JQ flights rather than overlay on similar timings. Also looks like a JQ 787 base may be set up in BNE, and would allow BNE-DPS 787 flying to be operated by BNE-based crews. ...

How does this affect the AA/QF JV if at all?
Thinking a little left field here and not knowing what actual pax loads on ZL flights to those small towns are like, could the upcoming Cessna SkyCourier with it's 19 pax configuration be a suitable aircraft for Rex? Perhaps even as a mixed fleet of SkyCouriers and ATR42s for the larger routes?

I wonder what keeping VARA means? And where physically are the ATRs? I assume it means keeping the FIFO operations centred in PER using F100s and A320s. The ATRs are removed from the fleet. Some were in NZ whilst others were parked at MEL. Not sure if this has recently changed. There were a handful...
