As above, the extra trans-tasman 734 flights take 1.5 a/c. Removing 2 AKL-WLG-AKL returns is not enough!

Sorry what I meant was that on the WLG-AKL sector on Saturdays there is a much reduced schedule which limits what they can cut out. But these changes refer to daily flilghts....
I also thought that Jetconnect were originally to get 4 737-400 from QF, to replace the 4 737-300 taken for freighter conversion and at the moment there are only 3. So does this mean Jetconnect will get an additional 737-400 I can only hope.

Didn't one of the conversions go bad?

Bad? No, wrote off the entire airframe I believe.
I believe QF sourced another 737-300 from somewhere as they wanted 4 for Air Express?

Wasn't it originally reported that the frame was a write off but on further assessment deemed fixable?

What frames have gone to AAE?

I understand it to be:
VH XMR
VH XMO
VH XML
VH XMB

I can't work out where they came from but I am sure someone else can.
