Advent Air moves on Skywest shares
A Singapore based airline buying an Australian airline, albeit a very small airline. Am I reading too much into this story?

Re: Advent Air moves on Skywest shares
So are you implying that we may see Skywest apply for an international AOC and then operate 747 or A380 aircraft on behalf of SQ with SQ codeshare trans-Pacific?

Re: Advent Air moves on Skywest shares
Not quite the way you phrased it but in the same ball park. The question that I can't answer is that would a budget Singapore based carrier be doing wanting to take over a regional airline in Western Australia?
One motive could be international flights but that may be difficult with the obstacles involved. Another motive could be trying to expand Skywest to the size of Qantaslink thereby providing SQ with a domestic partner here and possibly a low cost carrier similar to Tiger Airways feeding passengers to mainline SQ and possibly US routes. Or I am reading too much into it! |

Re: Advent Air moves on Skywest shares
Advent's stated focus is on the development of regional airline services within the Asian region, and they appear to be wanting to do this via acquisition. Not sure what airlines in Asia they have in their sights
