Kakadu Air
Word on the field is they are grounded due to CP not passing an IPC or CP check. Which I'm not sure but they havnt been flying for a couple of weeks now

Apparently no. He failed again.
Kakadu Air have not been flying for around a month now.
Hope they get through this for the sake of the staff.
If they are selling off assets, at least they'll be able to drag it out for a while.

I heard that one of the former CP's was going to come back and take of the reigns?
Having worked for Bob in the past it'd be terrible to see the company go under!
Unfortunately I did hear a rather worrying rumor about a haircut that wasn't appreciated by certain people...

I'm sure he's got a reason, but why doesn't Kakadu Bob just forgo the RPT side which is making hiring a CP so hard and go back to operating airvans and caravans? He would have more than enough experience in-house to get a CP going for that...

Interesting what he is actually selling. No Airvans and No AOC (that is all the big $ except the C208 and Darwin assets).
But that all paid for the Darwin adventure I expect and the previous Arnhem adventure??
Could be a very cheap buy if you have a AOC and a few C207. lol
