New regional airline to take off Northwest - Airspeed Scone

Media Release: Northwest Airlines - A Narrabri-based Airline for the people of the NSW Northwest - MyNarrabri


Good news for regional NSW, Ben has announced 19 seater and 30 seater aircraft to run RPT to service regional nsw. Great news for pilots and engineers alike.

Be interesting to see what the 30 seat turbo prop will be....running two types..
Brasilia? -100?

Well done Ben

Steady on.

...it all depends on a lot of other things coming together, not least of which is NBR council's choice between us and the other proponents.

The MD of one other operator has already got slots into SYD, having told ACA that they have got Council's approval in the bag.

We have put up a proposal that delivers jobs and investment to Narrabri and Tamworth.

...who knows what happens next.

Good luck Horatio (I know it'll need more than just luck - but you know what I mean), I wish you well.

All the best, hopefully the council don't fall for the shiny jet and see the benefits have having a local airline.

Good luck with it. Would be fantastic to see an aviation enterprise that has a heart succeed in an industry that has lost it's heart and soul along the way.

Do you actually have RPT on your AOC?

Why arnt people this supportive of other operators trying to have a go.

Highway

I would suggest we are 70-80% through the process, with the job suspended for the moment awaiting direction.

Thanks Highway. It's really encouraging to get that from an experienced operator such as yourself.

I agree with you though, ACA certainly believes that you have already won it.

Northwest wins the race

Seems Northwest have won the route, do they have an RPT AOC though?

Nope.

Has been ready to go for nearly 12 months but waiting for some sort of decision to be made - it's a $100,000 exercise.

Of course, the FOI managing the project has just gone overseas for 6 weeks and there's no resources in CASA to start moving forward.

Congratulations Horatio, a victory for persistence and common sense.
What a pity common sense needs to be extracted from some organisations with a crow bar. (and a ton of unnecessary expense).
