Skytrans to Operate Lord Howe Island Route from March 2026 - Take over from Qantaslink

[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.

What's the bet that the days of LDH Classic rewards are over, and now only Plus will remain if anything?

Classic+ is QF metal only. Skytrains is not QF metal.
