I have booked two one way tickets for Sep 2009,
$220 all inclusive ($80 at the first screen) per person per way, you can't complain, points to note:
1. Make sure you book using a credit card and get the charge back form
ready in case they go bust.... (so far they only take visa), for my travel dates it will be low season so it won't cost much to get another one.
2. If the flight does take place in the future, they enforce heavy penalties
on excess baggage ($150MOP/$20AUD) per kg, so take note.
As for their load factor, they are quite low, but they will take some cargo and
you are not really sure who is the boss behind the company, it is Macau remember .....
I have a strong feeling that the owner of the company have some links
to the casinos...
Recently China impose more restrictions on visitors / gamblers from China, so
they can't go to Macau more often... the visitors have dropped about half,....
As for their "fleet" the SYD<=>MFM uses 767-200ER, it is ex-aero mexico..

The information I posted came from my brother who worked for Ansett for two decades up to and including when they went belly-up; he now works for another company that supplies to Viva Macau.
Then again, I always take his statements with a grain of salt; I guess that is why I asked if anyone could confirm it.

The Ansett 767's were in the first build lot of 30 aircraft that every other airline had in the world converted to 2 pilot crewing so logic (to me) says they would be in the first series produced.

I always thought he 767-100 was planned (a shorter plane), but never made it past the drawing board,.

I thought the 5 AN 767-200s with the 3-crew flightdeck were the only ones built that way. I believe the first 31 767-200s Boeing were to build were originally to be built as 3-crew flight deck, but Boeing offered the purchasers to convert them to the 2-crew config at a slight increase in cost and about a 1 month deliver delay. It is my understanding that all other customers except Ansett accepted Boeing's offer to change them to 2-crew config and Ansett was the only airline that took delivery of the 3-crew config. The other customers who had theirs converted included United, AA, TWA, Delta, Air Canada, and China Airlines.
Ansett did eventually change their fove 3-crew aircraft to the standard 2-crew config.
Apparently their 767-200 Simulator was able to be converted between 2 and 3 crew config even for a long time after they converted the aircraft.

Yes, I believe that to be the case. They dropped the idea because it was a similar capacity to the 757, which also had a high degree of crew commonality.
