The airline, which currently operates 11 of the turboprops for mining and resources operations, has signed a letter of intent for the planes to join its stable this year.
The carrier that would become Australia’s second largest airline group operated its first flight, from Brisbane to Sydney, on 31 August 2000, and benefited from the collapse of Ansett a year later before rebranding to Virgin Australia in 2011.
The Vietnamese low-cost carrier will end its Sydney-Hanoi service on 27 September and its Melbourne-Hanoi service on 3 October, but will gradually ramp up to daily flights from both destinations, as well as Brisbane, to Ho Chi Minh City.
The Indonesian flag carrier will add more services from Melbourne to Denpasar, as well as from both Melbourne and Sydney to Jakarta, as demand rises for travel between Indonesia and Australia.
The low-cost carrier was sentenced at Auckland District Court on Monday on 20 charges of breaching the NZ Fair Trading Act in 2022 and 2023. It had faced a potential fine of around $2.5 million, with a 25 per cent uplift based on its size and financial position.
The Miami-based investment firm was held in contempt by a Delaware court over the approximately US$600,000 in fees, which it had been ordered to pay to former CFO Damien Alfalla, as revealed in legal documents unsealed earlier this month.
