Stationair, in the last year DC9s mainly operated up the Qld coast Rocky,Mackay,Townsville,Cairns. Also Sydney,Melbourne, Launy, Hobart. By then the major routes & long distance had A300,B727 & B737 operating. Thinking back, there was a rumour(hmmm,in aviation,how unusual...not!!) that the DC9s were to be operated for a low cost holiday market airline owned by Australian,but after the Hawaiian Airlines B737 blew part of it's roof off,it was decided that maybe the 9s were a bit old & the idea was squashed.....maybe someone else can add to this.
