Dash 8 operators in OZ/NZ ?

we need a Dash 8.


Apart from Skytrans, Maroomba & Air Nelson are there any other Dash 8 operators in OZ or NZ ? (of course the big red rat has a few, but wouldn't bother asking them)

Don't know if they still have it but last I heard the Air Marshalls one wasn't doing much

Where do you want to use it, in Australia or somewhere else and what for/how long for?

OZ domestic only, so it must have a NZ or OZ AOC. Probably 400 hours maybe more, over a period of 10-12 months.

Small industry in Australia. If you have already approached Skytrans and Maroomba (and don't want to try QF Link) the only other that comes to mind is Skippers. Cobham special missions probably won't suit your needs!!

400 hours over 10-12 months is very low utilisation for this type of aircraft so average hourly lease rates are going to be exceptionally high. I assume Skytrans and Maroomba priced themselves out of your market?? Probably everyone will!!

Does it have to be a Dash8? There are a couple of Airwork F27 x2 going for sale in NZ.

Hello,

Could someone be so kind as to provide me with a Dash 8 Q400 FCOM or Normal Procs. excerpt ? I would be happy to reciprocate the gesture with Boeing or Airbus stuff if you like.
If you could email me at flaretolandATgmailDOTcom that would be really great. Thanks.
