The only reason I did not post the link is because I was asked not to for the time being
fjetcrazy, apologies if I've 'let the cat out the bag' as it were, in that case!! Though to me this only becomes positive news when it is agreed and that it is actually happening - from looking at the tweet that I found (and posted) Jerry Haas is suggesting that this isn't happening any time soon - have I misunderstood??
You are on the right track, what I can say that currently there is flexibility as to where the ATR72 end up being based, current situation is fluent and dependent on several outside factors
Interesting, I could see the ATR72s deployed as follows.... - 1 to Zimbabwe to support the routes (exc BUQ) mentioned here - 1 to Tanzania to support smaller airports / thinner routes such as Kigoma, Mtwara, etc - 1 or 2 to Mozambique if fastjet gets to operate more domestic routes under the recent MoU You could also make a case that a deployment in South Africa (via Federal Air) also makes sense though given the fact that it is by far and away the largest, and most developed market, with the best infrastructure in Africa I would've thought that going in with E190s from the off was okay.
They want them in one place to keep control on costs, don�t be surprised if they end up in Zimbabwe
Excellent point! I guess this would not only increase capacity (though perhaps not if some frequencies were reduced due to longer flight times) and free up the 2 ERJ145s for (re)deployment elsewhere (say Mozambique or South Africa).
As. I said don�t be suprised ZIMBABWE it is �
So have CAAZ finally approved fastjets plans for BUQ and elsewhere then (and when will these routes commence)??
