Brisbane - Albury direct this winter ?
just heard a rumour that someone might be doing this route direct for 1st time.
Guess it's hard to get from BNE to ABX having to either go via MEL or SYD & then all TP's from SYD/MEL, which must push the cost up.

Best of luck to them.
But don't get too excited. Way back on Jan 6 the company announced they were going to announce a new city pair. Still today - nothing. Far from a mortal sin, but don't expect the investment community to be impressed either.

It says to be carried out with 48 months of 30 Nov 2011. The aircraft last flew Feb 8.
Do CASA give extentions to these AD's on occasion?

How does an airline:
How does an airline:
- make money with 33.3% of the fleet aog for 3 weeks?
- service its three 'routes' with only two aircraft?

They had VH-JGB on the ground at Perth for 8 weeks towards the end of last year. When it came back they started the Townsville-Rocky-Gold Coast run. You have to maintain them (I'm only assuming that's what it was in Perth for) but you're right, it's a pretty tight operation with only three aircraft.
BTW JGB is the only one of the three that has ADS-B. I think they might be the only RPT jets in the country that still don't have it. Must have been able to get a dispensation. Yeah I know, only spotters care about this stuff. I've been lurking here for years without saying anything and I still won't be saying a lot but I do enjoy reading your forum particularly to get an industry slant on some of the crap the media writes about aviation (as well as most other topics). Cheers.

Corporate Air have finally forayed into RPT despite holding an RPT Certificate for years - good on them.
...long way in a SAAB though

BAE 146 BK Ops later in 2016 ?
Any idea which company are planning Southery Closed Charter Ops out of Bankstown using those 2 x BAE 146s later on this yr ?
Horatio Leafblower are you in the know with this at this stage
All we heard thus far is that they are wreaks left over from the Vincent / Skyforce Washups
Skyforce was planning CS - POM freight missions utilising 2 x BAE 146 - 100s till it all went South last yr
