Hope there is some compensation from Boeing!So will be a money burner this month, will be interesting if the MAX is able to take a full load.

Would also compliment the Queensland Government's AAIF money that would also no doubt be also underwriting part of the expected first month of 'heavier' than normal start up losses.Hope there is some compensation from Boeing!

This is a hard one because fuel prices are not really published however Shell does publish some public rates on their PPP portal, Australia isn't covered but Haneda is:Anyone clever enough to work out the rough $$$ it will burn on gas?
The AAIF is clouded in such heavy secrecy that who knows how it's actually operated. From the limited details online they're subsiding $100m from the state gov and then the other half also $100m is "private sector" based and that's about it.Would also compliment the Queensland Government's AAIF money that would also no doubt be also underwriting part of the expected months of 'heavier' than normal start up losses
The lack of any mention of NH in the newsroom article is quite telling.It's north of PNG now. Shouldn't we be hearing more details about the ANA partnership?
Thanks for the detail.In Australian dollars fuel at Haneda (again public rate not hedged one) averages about AU$1.60 per L. The 737-700 has a capacity of ~26,022 litres of which I'd guess ~90% is being used. My guess is therefore about ~AU$37,000 per flight but I suspect this dollar figure might be on the lower end of the scale, someone might be able to confirm?
Assuming they target a ~70% load factor meaning they uplift 90 people it'd mean ~$400 per person in fuel costs alone. I think things will actually be worse when the 737 MAXs. Very basic searches seems to indicate that it costs upwards of $13,000 to lease a 737 MAX per day meaning at least ~$6,500 per flight (and again these are low end figures).
They've got to put a VA aircraft on the ground in Japan firstThe lack of any mention of NH in the newsroom article is quite telling.
Tell me about it. I was at HND in May 2020 and up against the northern wall of the checkin hall were piled up all the signs. Amongst them were the freshly shipped Virgin (no pun intended) signs.They've got to put a VA aircraft on the ground in Japan first
Those VA priority boarding signs at Haneda have been collecting a fair amount of dust. I saw them at Haneda in December 2021 and from comments online they've been there since about Jan 2020, for the first time tonight 3 years 5 months later they'll finally be used!
It's worth noting ANA actually have codeshares on the VA flight using NH6417 from HND to CNS and NH6416 from CNS to HND (ableit these only seem to price at full fares right now). I'm not 100% sure but I think the benefits of booking the NH codeshare include NH miles earning and possibly lounge access for NH elites at HND?
I'm 99% sure we'd expect nothing in the next few days. It's worth noting today's flight went off with very limited attention (all media events etc were canned)I had been delaying a few NH bookings to see if we’d get any details on the partnership and ended up biting the bullet, I guess the Krismiles backdoor is the way to go if nothing is announced in the next few days.
Does seem like a waste having a whole 737M allocated to this route.
<redacted>Some nasty people have accused them of slot sitting
Considering the Queensland Government are involved financially (through the AAIF) in VA's CNS-HND, it will be a long while before VA makes their next move with that slot. At minimum it would be 18 months.<redacted>
Shirley we can give it at least couple months... At an absolute minimum, no?
Exactly.Considering the Queensland Government are involved financially in VA's CNS-HND, it will be a long while before VA makes their next move with that slot. At minimum it would be 18 months.
I'm also certain there are certain conditions that would need to be met (e.g loads are going very dismal at <30% or thereabouts for say 4 months and the AAIF funds not enough to cover those losses) for a subsidy contract to end earlier than their agreed period.

We use new signs
This is on EF. So will be a money burner this month, will be interesting if the MAX is able to take a full load.
