Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 1:14 pmSee here. Nothing new really as these airports use to have 737 domestic operations a few years ago. Wonder how this ties in with the ATR replacement?

See here.
It will be interesting. Would they have enough ANZ 737s to continue service to their existing airports whilst bringing in new services? I was under the impression they were already somewhat tight given their lease of a Tuifly 737 (or whatever the blue one is

Hmm hope thay dont go for the Q400 option not a big fan, there to long IMO the 300 is just right,
Wouldent it be cool if they went for the Embraer!
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 8:42 pmI think they will go with the New, even longer Q400X- I think its the perfect option as I dont really see too many improvments on the new ATR. Of course, Id also love to see the Embraer- But Its definently still on the cards! 
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 9:12 pmAn even longer Q400!
The thing will snap in half on a hard landing

Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2008 10:01 pmwhen did they stop flying 737's out of hamilton, there was always one departing in the morning, and one mid morning and another mid arvo, well when i worked there many moons ago, i know for a fact that Hawke's bay would fill jet services, but the -300's can't get in or out at working loads, so i guess they will be stuck. if they do aquire Q400's do they require the same runway lengths as the 737's or do they use the same length as the atrs. saabs etc?
