Slingair and BAS joined together to make Aviair what it is today.
The owner is well connected on a government level so will have significant funding thrown towards the intra state service. Services like what they are proposing wouldn’t be profitable without government support.

I assume the AOC process is well underway as that is a very tight timeframe until operations start, especially if it’s a Nexus AOC not adding more types onto Aviair.
Owned by aviair. Known for the bonds they make pilots take. It will probably be around 1million dollars for a q400 with a 999year return of service. Pilots to clean plane after every flight
Would be good to see the Dash 8-400 at CVQ. But not sure the runway can handle an aircraft of that size? Currently CVQ has the Saab 340 (Rex) land there in terms of RPT flights

At it is right now, a Q400 can't go into carnarvon... Not without some form of pavement concession and probably an adjustment to the apron area.
Perth - Carnarvon is also a fully regulated route (So only one airline can provide that service as there isnt enough demand)

It’s been seriously degraded for years. As I recall, there was talk of building a new airport to the north of the townsite about 10-15 years ago, but that was dropped in favour of a new runway and terminal to the east of the existing facilities. Meanwhile, nothing much has been done and the existing runway continues to be patched up every so often.

I think their plan is probably to get set up then bid for the other regulated routes off Rex. A Q400 can get into CVQ with a pavement concession from the council.

Well given Kununurra is the base I guess, Kununurra to Darwin and return?
I will be fascinated to see their transition to RPT as it used to be known and how they will keep cabin crew based in Kununurra.
Good luck.

They took over BASs big Hangar in Broome so could be maintained there. I’d suspect somewhere in Perth as there’d be plenty of Dash Engineers down there - Cobham (NJE) maybe?
