Alliance Airlines (QQ, Brisbane Int'l) has exited the turboprop market with the early retirement and sale of all of its remaining Fokker 50s for AUD4.6 million Australian dollars (USD3.2 million).
"The Company has concluded a review on the Fokker 50 fleet, which included using the turboprop aircraft for existing and potential customers. Overwhelmingly the preference of these customers was for jet aircraft on their charter services. Moreover, the alternative shorter routes with lower passenger requirements were deemed non-core to the Alliance business," the airline said.
Alliance Airlines, which is being acquired by Qantas Group, said its five remaining Fokker Aircraft turboprops have been used exclusively on the Adelaide-Olympic Dam route under a fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) charter contract with mining company BHP. However, the recent refurbishment of Olympic Dam's runway has since allowed the carrier to replace the F50s with jets, which are preferred by the customer.
The five remaining F50s in Alliance's fleet are 28.6 years old on average, [/quote]
