SKYAIRWORLD OUT, PACIFIC BLUE MAY COME IN

Govt media Services
Honiara

The contract with the Australian airline company, SkyAirWorld, to operate the Sydney-Honiara route has been terminated.

Finance Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo made the announcement yesterday following what he termed as SkyAirWorld ‘defaulting’ in terms of its contract.

“I would accept their decision to move ahead if we had not put forward that provision, the short term roll-over position”, he said refering to the ability of the Solomon Airlines and SkyAirWorld to get over their impasse that resulted in the grounding of the leased Embraer aircraft.

“SkyAirWorld have defaulted in terms of their contract”, he said.

Meanwhile, representatives from another Australian airline company, Pacific Blue has met with Mr Lilo earlier this week. Mr Lilo said the meeting was ‘very encouraging’ and has spoken of a possible arrangement that could be drawn up should a decision is being made.
“The respresentaive of Pacific Blue has express their interest to operate this (Brisbane-Honiara) route and I hope that they will be given their licence by the relevant Australian authority to operate this route”, he said.

“We have established some understanding on of operating a partnership for the Honiara-Brisbane route. The partnership will include the Solomon Islands Government, Virgin Blue and the private sector. This means some shares will be opened up to the private sector to invest in the airline, Mr Lilo said.

“Once they come in, I have no doubt in my mind that the airfares to Australia will go down, and it has been confirmed to us that as soon as they started operating the Brisbane-Honiara route that the airfares will come down at least 25 percent.”

However, Mr Lilo said the operation of SkyAirWorld in Solomon Islands to operate a twice-weekly flight to Honiara will depend on the the consent of Australian authorities.

“Their operation depends on how fast the Australian authorities grant Virgin Blue the licence. But may probably begin operations by mid-November if we do come up with any arrangement.”

The Minister said Virgin Blue has a strong marketing program that they can reach out to as much as many customers around the world to put Solomon Islands as a tourist destination.
