Pionair‘s BAe 146-200QC VH-SAZ (msn E2148) is due to operate a luxury charter for tour operator Captain’s Choice. For this charter, VH-SAZ is configured with a comfortable 48 seat layout — but only carries 36 passengers, to give them additional room. “Captain’s Choice” titles have been applied to the fuselage, replacing the airline’s own.
Update: The charter appears to have been cancelled, as the “Captain’s Choice” titles were removed and VH-SAZ entered service on 20 July flying a freight service from Sydney to Adelaide.
