Skytrans to take over QantasLink's Dash 8-200s, Lord Howe Island route

[moa999]

LDH to go to Skytrans from March 2026 with a transitional period before.
Skytrans to codeshare with QF and more interestingly operate from SYD T3.

Skytrans will seemingly also be acquiring 3 Q200s from QF.

I wonder if this will be one of the very few exceptions where you can book Classic Rewards on codeshare - I assume not.

The press release makes no mention of redeeming points, it may depend on the codeshare agreements. So probably ok until 26 / 2 / 26. Then who knows.

Makes sense to be using T3, given the codeshare deal.
