Skytrans Dash 8?

Taxiing at Sydney today, noticed a Dash 8 inbound to the GA apron painted in Skytrans colours. Rego was QQ... something, which I assume is one of QRA's machines?
Any info??

Interesting innit?

The mind boggles.....

I think David may have made a deal that places Skytrans in a premier position in FNQ aviation. Good luck to him. He's a stayer in the industry!

Hmmm, is it possible that QRA now have a financial interest in Skytrans?

She was parked at Scone yesterday afternoon - had a load of suits on board.

Interestingly there was a bus and half a dozen other vehicles creating a cordon around the aircraft as they disembarked, as though to screen from the casual observer

The Skytrans Dash was in Sydney and Scone this weekend on Charter to PBL for the annual christmas party. It returns to CS Sunday and starts work for Skytrans this week.

Sktrans has been sold, (announced on Fiday to staff) And there will be some interesting and exciting changes happening in the near future.

Skytrans Regional Airlines

Skytrans has been sold to QRA for an undisclosed sum
Skytrans staff briefed on Friday, QRA staff yet to be
Only hope they keep the Skytrans managment team, or mayby CAS could squeeze in yet another tier of managent
Interesting times ahead in both camps

Skytrans sold

Heard that Skytrans has been sold by the current Directors to the Wild Group (QRA and APNG)

It will continue as Skytrans becoming a separate business unit of the Wild Group.

Deal becomes final anyday now.
