Stretching the B737 fleet

[pauly7]

What will be interesting is now TT only have new A320s left on long term lease, what will they do with them when/if the next VA 737s arrive? You really shouldn't send an expensive, leased, 180 seat aircraft to WA to carry 100 people once a day Monday-Friday so VARA is unlikely. I'd say accept defeat and run a mixed fleet at TT

A mixed fleet for an ultra low cost operator with a tiny fleet, poor on time / cancellation performance and a brand that is still very negatively perceived by the public not just for lack of reliability but also safety.... sounds like a bad idea to me.

It’s already bleeding cash what hope do they have to turn it around operating 2 aircraft types.... as you say it’s a mess, I wonder if the new CEO is just considering cutting the brand now JB has chucked the hot potato to him

as far as I know the Tigerair name can not be be changed due to the part of the sale
