Mar 10, 2021, 10:49 PMI have a feeling that a Dreamliner would need the bigger parking slots available in T3 at Syd, not sure what the go is in Mel.

Rex to challenge Qantas, Virgin on capital city routes from March 2021
May 12, 2020, 12:13 PMGiven current conditions I suspect CASA will happily hand them whatever AOC is necessary to facilitate their future operations... that said, they could easily get by with sub-180 seat aircraft ;)

South African Airways to fly again, after $2.38bn Government bailout
Apr 23, 2020, 02:15 PMQantas have a major JV partner in the Chinese market. In South Africa all they have is Comair codeshares. Flying to China Eastern's hub in PVG makes sense, as the other Chinese carriers will dominate QF from every other major city.South Africans will lose many of their long haul services by the e...
