Regional Equipment
Hi all
I have heard that there may be a reshuffle of equipment in some regional centres.
In particular, rumour has it that the Q300 base at NPE will be closed and NPE will become an ATR airport.
Has anyone heard any more on this?
Related to the reports of Q300s replacing 1900Ds, perhaps?
Thanks

ZK-EAL has left the country already, with a few more set to follow. Despite rumours, the Beech is set to stay. Air New Zealand have invested heavily in a Flight Simulator for the AC type.
Also NPL-AKL will go from a ATR/Q300 mix to all ATRs

I overheard crews talking about some of the changes this week. It seems there are plenty of rumours at present of a number of other areas all moving to the Q300 as well.
It seems there is also some planned consolidation of crew bases as well.
