Some family friends at KI mentioned that King Island Airlines has been sold to new owners with "big plans" anyone know more?
My information was that King Island Airlines had not done anything to ensure maintenance for an RPT AOC under the new regulations which are due to be introduced very soon. In fact, so little it is very doubtful that there is sufficient time to comply so selling the RPT side of the business makes sense. Perhaps Vortex who were jumping up and down a year or so ago with plans for there?
I did notice when I was on the island for a few days a couple of weeks ago that the "Bandit" was making daily freight trips but that may have been a one-off as the sea service was suspended I think due to wharf damage at Grassy.
