DJ to operate SQ aircraft on key domestic routes

[9V-JKL]

Interesting....Short term only I suppose

The airline is also in discussions with alliance partners Etihad Airways, Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand and Delta Air Lines in regards to adding extra capacity. Current options being explored include:

• Operating Etihad Airways aircraft between Sydney and Melbourne;
• Operating an Etihad Airways Boeing 777 between Abu Dhabi and Sydney, which will release a Virgin Australia Boeing 777 to operate between Los Angeles and Australia;
• Operating Singapore Airlines aircraft on key domestic routes;
• Operating extra Air New Zealand aircraft on the trans-Tasman route in order to release Virgin Australia Boeing 737s for use domestically.

I don't think this will happen now. Qantas is back flying and full schedule on domestic routes.
