The dreamers will be busy working the phones, talking to the politicians, local councils how they will be starting up a new regional airline. We saw that when Hazeltons and Kendall’s stopped in 2001.
Our fifty year old Chieftain is just like a Saab 340, it’s low wing and has two engines. It will be crewed by our highly competent pilots that far exceed CASA standards, we will offer a reliable service subject to regular breakdowns at some remote outport. Our outsourced engineering department is staffed by people that will ensure no aeroplane will leave the hangar until the 90 day account is paid in full and the cheque has been cleared.
Remember when Hazelton’s had a big downsizing in the early 90’s and the likes of Monarch Airlines appeared overnight. Somebody else was running a Queenair on RPT at one stage.
Stay safe Rex Saab drivers!
