737-200 would be awesome!
Just saying, as this appears to be a rumour, didn't Tom post about his Dad saying that his Dad didn't like the Jetstreams? That they were cheap but a nightmare from an air operator's point of view. Found it: "really can't see the ugly side of 1900's, perhaps its because i've seen the rewards of operating them as opposed to a better looking but quite frankly horrendous aircraft like a J31/32 or metro. I think my dad and i figured out you could buy four J31's for the price of one 1900D, but it's just not worth it..." Could happen though I suppose because they're really cheap to operate. I wouldn't actually know anyway  Cheers Anthony --------------------  |

I wonder who came up with that preposterous idea...
 Dw about deleting the topic, appears a few people have already 'heard the rumour'. |

Righto, I've talked to Dad.
VA will be getting two J31/32s in the near future, based out of Wellington for charter work, as they are significantly cheaper to operate than a 1900, making chartering an aircraft a more cost effective option than it is currently, which will appeal to sports teams/school groups etc. VA will definitely be getting another Dash 8-100 for scheduled work from Darwin, probably to continue growth on the Darwin- Groote Eylandt- Cairns route, which before VA came along was almost non-existent in terms of demand. Va is also currently looking at an ex-Delta Airlines Boeing 737-200Adv, which were some of the last ones made in the late '80s. Because of this, they are in great condition, and have the same interior as a 737-300, so would work well covering an ANZ route if a 737-300 breaks down. It will be a welcome change from dodgy old -NQC, as if the deal goes ahead the 737 will have a brand-new interior and new paint, and will be immaculately maintained in the typical VA style .Dad's going to Tucson, Arizona next weekend. (No, Not Indonesia! )Y'all know now!
