Maybe Ozjet/ Norfolk trying to secure some new aircraft
Skywest, Airnorth, Macair ...... lots to speculate on ... surely though the east coast has got enough/is getting enought LCC capacity, but the west coast could do with some competition ...

Wonder who'll be bottom rank LCC in Australia now? I wouldn't be surprised if this means that flights to Jakarta drop in price now. Here's hoping Brisbane ends up being the base, so BNE-CGK becomes a direct flight again.

The interest will be if they do as Tiger have done and set up a gateway like DRW.
QF use a 738 on PERJKT so that would be an option
As they will op 737-900s the range is only 5hrs so JKT to the eastcoast needs a stop somewhere.
The real question is as noted the eastcoast and its terminals are basically full now which limits access ...anyone who has been to PER/DRW lately would also question where the hell they can park these planes...not to mention
the shortage of pilots...interesting times indeed

10.10.07 SkyAirWorld and Lion Air Joint Venture – Lion Air Australia
SkyAirWorld and Lion Air will form a new company, Lion Air Australia, introducing Boeing’s most recently certificated aircraft, the 737-900ER*, into Australia. With first flights expected in late 2008, SkyAirWorld will facilitate Lion Air Australia’s regulatory approval application.
Routes, Fares and Frequencies are under development, but Lion Air Australia will be a good-value carrier including business and premium economy seats.
SkyAirWorld CEO, David Charlton, “We are excited by the opportunity to be Lion Air’s Australian partner. Lion Air is an aviation leader in Asia and was the launch customer for the B737-900ER. SkyAirWorld has demonstrated the skills and capability to introduce technologically advanced aircraft to the Australian marketplace. Lion Air Australia’s route network is yet to be defined but we will be connecting points not currently serviced and creating a fantastic new offering for the travelling public. Lion Air Australia will offer a good value for money product for the holiday and business traveller, including connections between Australia and its most populous neighbour, Indonesia. Lion Air Australia has created great interest since the announcement of its inception by Rusdi Kirana, the CEO of Lion Air yesterday evening.”
