been filled and it is only the Boeing 757 that continues to move slowly. As we mentioned’ last year, airlines in our region are finding it Difficult to get rid _ of their older aircraft. At present there are 23 F27s and 3 Boeing 737-lOOs sitting around looking for a buyer. Both major Australian domestic operators continue to fly their Boeing 727-200s even though they have taken delivery of replacement aircraft, for the simple reason that there are no buyers for them. Qantas were successful in disposing of nine of their Boeing 747-238Bs, a type that evidently still finds a ready market overseas. In this period 29 aircraft were delivered to airlines in our report, while 7 were sold overseas.

Fleet & Operational Changes (Ol/06/90-28/02/91)

Air New Zealand operated their lastFokker F27 service on 04/12/90, thus severing a connection with the type that goes back to late 1960. With the Friendship fleet withdrawn from service Air New Zealand terminated services in this period to Blenheim, Gisborne, Nelson, New Plymouth, Rotorua, Tauranga, Timaru and Wanganui. Current schedules show that Air New Zealand fly to only eight domestic ports – Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hamilton, Invercargill, Napier, Palmerston North and Wellington.

The following Friendships are presently stored at Christchurch Airport while awaiting sale: F27-100 ZK-BXE, -BXF, -BXG, -BXH, -BXI; F27-500 ZK-NAN, -NAO, -NFA, -NFB, -NFD, -NFE, -NFF, -NFH, -NFI, -NFJ. In October 1988 Air New Zealand purchased a 50% interest in commuter operators Air Nelson and Eagle Air. Under the Air New Zealand Link Airline system these two operators have benefited by taking over many of the routes previously operated by the ANZ Friendship fleet. Air Nelson have consequently expanded their fleet to 4 Saab 340As and 9 Metro Ills while Eagle Air, who are based in Hamilton, operate 6 EMB-llOPl Bandeirantes.

In October 1990 Air New Zealand changed their airline designator from TE to NZ thus severing a connection with the past. The TE designator goes back to the days of Tasman Empire Airways Limited who commenced operations in April 1940 and were the forerunner of Air New Zealand. Air New Zealand added

two new ports to their international network in this period. Bali came on line in

09/90 with the introduction of a weekly Boeing 767 service from Auckland, while Bangkok was added in 11/90.

The Boeing 747-400 was introduced into service by Air New Zealand in 11/90. ZK-NBT was the second of its type to be delivered to Air New Zealand but due to industrial problems was the first to enter service. ZK-NBT msn 24855 arrived in Auckland from Seattle on 02/11 and entered service later that month. Air New Zealand’s first Boeing 747-400 ZK-NBS returned to Auckland on 31/01 after completing its lease to Cathay Pacific Airways. Boeing 747-219 ZK-NZZ was withdrawn from service on 27/01 in preparation for lease to Malaysian Airlines. Boeing 767-204 ZK-NBJ msn 23250 which was previously operated by Britannia Airways in the UK as G-BLKW was delivered to Auckland on 22/09. ZK-NBJ was brought up to ER standard by Air New Zealand maintenance before it entered service. Boeing 767-205ER ZK-NBD was withdrawn from service in 06/90 before delivery the following month to Air Pacific as DQ-FJA. Former Braathens SAFE Boeing 737-205 LN-SUT msn 22022 flew into Christchurch on 05/09 as ZK-NAQ on delivery to Air New Zealand.

Air Vanuatu was formed in early 1981 as the national airline of the newly independent Republic of Vanuatu. A five year operating contract was signed with Ansett and on 05/09/81 Air Vanuatu operated their first flight. In March 1986 Air Vanuatu terminated their contract with Ansett so from then until December 1987, when a commercial agreement was reached with Australian Airlines Air Vanuatu ceased flying. In March 1989 Air Vanuatu purchased Boeing 727-276 VH-TBN from Australian Airlines. The Boeing, which carries Air Vanuatu colours, operates three days a week for Air Vanuatu connecting Port Vila with Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. For the remainder of the week VH-TBN is leased to Australian Airlines for use on their domestic services.

Fleet & Operational Changes (Ol/06/90-28/02/91)

Ansett Australia came into being on 4 October 1990 when a new corporate image was announced for the then Ansett Airlines. The name Ansett has been with the airline since 1936 when it commenced operations as Ansett Airways. In 1957 with the takeover of Australian National Airways the airline became Ansett-ANA. In 1969 this was changed to Ansett Airlines of Australia and in 1980 came a further change toAnsett. Ansett Australia also unveiled their new colour scheme on 04/10 with the first aircraft to be painted being Boeing 737-377 VH-CZP.

On 17/02 Ansett Australia commenced a daily jet service on the Cairns to Weipa route. Equipment used is an F28 leased from Ansett NT. Ansett Australia added two further Al A320-211 aircraft to their fleet in this period. VH-HYI msn 140 arrived in Melbourne from Toulouse on 26/01 while VH-HYJ msn 142 flew in on 20/02. Due to the Gulf crisis both aircraft were ferried to Australia via the United States. In September Ansett placed an order with Airbus lndustrie for 10 A321s the first of which will be delivered in late 1995. As a result of the AFAP dispute Boeing 737-377 VH-CZO was one of three of its type leased to America West Airlines. VH-CZO flew out of Brisbane on 19/10/89 and commenced flying a few days later with America West as N144AW. On 28/06/90 N114AW returned to Melbourne to once again commence flying with Ansett as VH-CZO.

Prior to the AFAP dispute in August 1989 Ansett operated five Fokker 50s, VH-FND, -FNF, -FNG, -FNH and -FNI, from their Melbourne base. The decision was taken to close down Fokker 50 operations with Ansett and as a result VH-FND and -FNF were transferred to the then Ansett NSW. The other three F50s VH-FNG, -FNH and -FNI, were advertised for sale. On 05/10 VH-FNG flew out of Melbourne on lease to Austrian Airlines, Vienna as OE-LFX. The remaining two F50s, VH-FNH and -FNI, now carry the markings of Ansett Express though they spend most of their time on the ground in Melbourne. F27-600 VH-FNQ ferried out of Melbourne on 07/11 on delivery to Rex Aviation in New Zealand with whom it has since been registered ZK-RTA. F27-200s VH-MMR, -MMS and -MMV and F27-600 VH-FNO remain in storage at Melbourne awaiting sale.

Ansett Express, which commenced operations on 28 November, was born out of the shell of Ansett NSW to better compete in the deregulated market. The Ansett Express route structure mainly encompasses that of Ansett NSW, however both Eastwest Airlines and Ansett Australia have transferred routes to the new carrier.

The first aircraft to carry Ansett Express titles and the new corporate colours was F28-3000 VH-EWF. Previously operated by Eastwest Airlines, VH-EWF was delivered to Ansett NSW on 23/10. As Eastwest took delivery of their BAe 146-300s they transferred further F28s to Ansett Express: F28-4000 VH-EWC on 27/10, F28-4000 VH-FKO on 14/12 and F28-3000 VH-EWG on 30/11. Ansett Airlines Fokker F50s VH-FNH and -FNI became part of the Ansett Express fleet in 12/90.

Ansett Express have added a number of new routes and ports to their network. From Ansett Airlines came the Brisbane/Rockhampton and Brisbane/Mt Isa routes, while from Eastwest came Brisbane/Mackay. Eastwest Airlines also withdrew from Norfolk Island thus leaving Ansett Express to operate flights from both Sydney and Brisbane.

Ansett Express leased a Queensland Pacific Mohawk 298 for the Sydney/ Dubbo route from 03/02. This arrangement continued until 01/03 when Queensland Pacific withdrew their aircraft due to financial problems
