George Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Anyone have any news updates on the new E-Jets in Oz, I hear Skyairworld have taken delivery of their first E170 into the country, and Airnorth will be the next recipient in May. Has there been any press releases in the last few weeks from these operators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glenn Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I haven't seen anything for a while. The last news story was posted November 24 1006. See http://www.theaussieaviator.net/viewtop ... light=e170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Quote: Brisbane, Australia — (29 March, 2007) – Solomon Airlines, the national airline of the Solomon Islands, today announced its plans to introduce a new 76 seat Embraer E-170 aircraft, an important component of the airline’s growth and transformation. Solomon currently serves Brisbane with 6 round-trip flights per week to Honiara, with connecting service to Espirtu Santo and Nadi. With the new aircraft, Solomon Airlines will introduce additional services in May 2007. The E-170 has been secured through a strategic partnership with Australian operator SkyAirWorld. This alliance will allow Solomon the flexibility to add to its fleet as needs and opportunities arise. Solomon will utilize the E-170 for at least three years. Taking a random date in July, here's Solomon Air's EMB170 schedules for BNE-HIR-BNE: Code: Brisbane - Honiara IE701 TUE BNE/HIR 10.00AM/14.20PM IE703 WED BNE/HIR 09.00AM/13.10PM IE701 THU BNE/HIR 10.00AM/14.20PM IE701 FRI BNE/HIR 10.00AM/14.20PM IE701 SUN BNE/HIR 10.00AM/14.20PM Honiara - Brisbane IE700 MON HIR/BNE 12.40PM/15.10PM IE700 TUE HIR/BNE 15.10PM/17.40PM IE702 WED HIR/BNE 19.20PM/22.00PM IE702 THU HIR/BNE 15.10PM/17.40PM IE700 SAT HIR/BNE 13.30PM/16.00PM Solomon's lease on Airclass Airways 733 EC-JSL finishes soon and will quickly be replaced by the EMB170... In other news, Air Pacific will also be running (during busy winter months) an extra Sunday 73H NAN-BNE-NAN flight (in addition to the 767-300) departing Brisbane late at night.
