They were trying to complete training over with Ad Astral and purchase one of the 1900’s they were operating until the AOC was revoked. I’ve been told pilots have been sent to the US to complete type ratings and that they are looking at one in Florida. It seems to me like they don’t have the cash to purchase one hence why they are selling aircraft and essentially downsizing in the mean time. It’s an interesting time for them because it will likely be make or break, I feel it will be the latter. Operating it at Moorabbin will be a huge hurdle in itself!

They have indeed moved over to Devonport. Something to do with Devonport airport approaching them for business or something like that. Probably has the 1900 involved as well. Either way, good move I feel.

Hopefully Colin and Dave have a remarkable plan to get it all happening. It has the potential to be very successful.
