"our Airline"
Arrived in Bne last night and noticed a 737-600 parked on bay# 47. I think the rego was VH-INU. It's only other identifying mark was "our Airline" painted on the top of fuselage rear of the o'wing exit.The paint scheme consisted of flowing blue ribbons.
Does anyone know who this belongs to and their purpose??

Le Pilot,
you're absolutely right. They run the airline just well enough to pay for the Brisbane based pilots and management salaries, but not the local Nauru staff. So well done in that area.
Buster Hyman,
not entirely accurate. Maybe it should have been called 'Their Airline', ie not the Nauruans. All else spot on.

BNE based ON
When Ro***ts made the airline structure a corporation, NLK charters paid local salaries & Australian costs. Australian generated funds were at least available to keep things operating. The big costs (leases, engineering, fuel, insurances) still had to be approved by Felix & funds begged, borrowed etc from within the Island to keep ON running. NAC is still only half way to being self-sufficient.

I happened to recognise the aircraft from when I flew on it once from Sydney to Norfolk Island. It stuck in my mind seeing it is their only aircraft. You seem to think that strange, Skystar320.
