Pacific Blue’s First Brisbane – Queenstown Flight Arrives in the South Today

25/06/2010

Queensland ski bunnies will be greeted by fresh snow when they arrive in Queenstown today on Pacific Blue’s first flight from Brisbane to New Zealand’s southern ski capital.

Pacific Blue’s CEO Mark Pitt said that more than 30 centimetres of fresh snow has fallen in the past few days on Queenstown ski fields, boding well for a good ski season in New Zealand and the airline’s inaugural flight between the two destinations. The Brisbane-Queenstown flights have been introduced on a seasonal basis, with services on Fridays and Sundays. They are in addition to the airline’s twice weekly Sydney-Queenstown flights, which operate year-round. “These flights will add over 3,000 seats to the Queenstown market from Australia for the June-September ski season,” Mr Pitt said. “Forward bookings on the new services are very pleasing and as word spreads about the good snow conditions we expect even more Queenslanders will be booking themselves a value-for-money ski holiday in New Zealand.” Blue Holidays, the holiday program of Virgin Blue Group of Airlines, is offering Australian travellers a great package deal staying at Mercure Queenstown Resort which includes return airfares from Brisbane to Queenstown and seven nights accommodation in a Standard Room from AU$1286* per person twin share. Packages are on sale until 31 July 2010, for travel between now and 31 October 2010.

BNE-POM freight hots up

Re: Application for PNG Route Freight Capacity
Pionair Australia Pty Ltd operates its own aircraft on an Australian issued Air
Operators Certificate and is seeking IASC allocation of 18,000kg per week
freight capacity between Australia and PNG.
Pionair Australia Pty Ltd currently operates dedicated Convair 580 cargo
aircraft that have a unique capability in the PNG context in that they are able
to operate to and from more austere runways than many other jet and
turboprop aircraft with meaningful payloads. The 18,000kg of capacity will
allow three weekly flights (6,000kg each) from Brisbane and Cairns to Port
Moresby and destinations within PNG that cannot be serviced either
effectively or economically by most other freighter aircraft.
Since 2008, Pionair have operated the Convair 580 aircraft from Australia to a
wide range of ports in PNG. Pionair has operated on behalf of many
internationally renowned clients including multi‐nationals and other airlines
and is confident that forward interest (subject to the award of Freight
Capacity) is sufficient to commence these services in July 2010.
The allocation of 18,000kg per week is requested on the following basis:
- 3 Flights per week
- Allocation for a period of 5 years
- Capacity will be utilised incrementally from July 2010 and be fully
utilised by end July 2011.
Pionair Australia

Source IASC

Recently an additional 30 tonnes freight capacity per week has been added to the
Australia-Papua New Guinea route, and PAE seeks an allocation of an additional
17.5 tonnes per week of freight capacity on the route. The additional capacity would
be utilized with a second B737-300F service operating BNE-POM-BNE.
If the allocation is granted, PAE has sufficient forward bookings to fully utilise the
additional freight capacity as soon as an amended flight schedule for the second
service is approved by the Department of Infrastructure and the PNG Department of
Transport.
Allocation Sought
Pacific Air Express seeks an additional allocation of 17.5 tonnes per week on the
Australia-PNG route on the following basis:
-the allocation is requested for a period of five years;
-the capacity will be fully used by 31 July 2010.

Heavylift Cargo Airlines

Ever since RP-C8017 727-100F left BNE for the Phillipines 2 or 3 months ago all their services have been operated by TOLL 733F.Now apparently the first of 2 rumoured 733F aircraft is due at YBBN soon and will be registered VH-JWLLet's hope that is true and we see them back operating again out of BNE.

More increases in flights for BNE.

Qantaslink has recently increased their BNE-MOV(Moranbah flights from 5 to 8 a week and shortly to 9.This route was operated by defunct carrier Macair who flew Saab 340's .Qantaslink are operating their smaller Dash8-200's on the route.This particular route is a popular for fly in fly out operations for the resources industries, which is coal mining.Over recent weeks Skytrans has also been operating several charters as well.The towns of Clermont,Emerald,Moranbah and the coastal port of Mackay will all see growth in air services over the coming years as construction commences on numerous mines in the area.

Also nearby is the Galilee Basin, the town of Alpha is central to 3 huge coal projects planned to start next year.Alpha is rumoured to be getting a new jet runway to take 100 seater jets.Lets hope that the WA carriers of Network,Skippers and Skywest may tempted to base some operations over here in the future as the Alpha region will require 15,000 construction workers.

Reminder Korean will resume their Thursday flight from this week making 4 a week from ICN.
