New Airline for Central NSW
Heard from a reliable source that RPT----SYDNEY---Cowra-West Wyalong-Forbes-Temora-and a Lake Cargelligo/Condobolin link have been applied for.
A chief pilot has been appointed. The company is currently operating in the area for the past 5 years under Charter. The plan is to operate 2 Caravans and a Let 410 (E-20).
Seemingly the company has secured alot of work in the region with mining and government etc......lets see what happens.

NSW REGIONAL AIRLINE newest entrant
I don't know the name of the company at the moment. My mate at CASA Brissy office couldn't give the info away until next week.
Seemingly the Let 410 has been purchased 12months ago, and the Cessna's have been secured. I'll keep interested PPRUNER's informed as the news trickles in.

I stand to be corrected here, but the LET410, to the best of my knowledge, has not & cannot be certificated here in Australia, and the same applies in the US.
Different variants notwithstanding, I thought only the LET420 could get the nod for use, and hence me old buddy Tibor up here flying his 410 on the 9L rego.

I might also need correcting but I thought I saw a Metro at YSBK last Thu with "Maxair" on the side (clean and new looking). What stood out was the Swedish reg (not that I can remember it!).

There has definately been a metro at BK with Maxair on the side for about 3 weeks now. Parked outside Av Centre. Very new looking paint work with foriegn rego. I believe inside is configured in some sort of executive setup.
Anybody confirm?

According to our aircraft type search there are currently no LET's registered in Australia.
CASA has issued a Aircraft Type Certificiate for the LET 420 however not for the 410. I beleive that NASA is correct that there have been difficulties getting the 410 certified in Australia and in the US and as a result operations in both countries are conducted of foreign registrations. There is one 410 in the country operating up north doing parachuting I think it is.

As I understand it, the Let 420 is the newest version of the 410 series. The variant of Let -410 (only the E-10) is Ok to fly in Australia, because it has now been accepted in Germany under there local Civil air transport organisation, again, I don't understnd the legality, but the bloke in Caloundra who operates a Let 410 for parachuting confirmed this.
The understanding is the company has secured the Let 410 over a year ago now, and one could only assume that it is still overseas being leased out before it arrives in Australia. The 2 cessna's grand caravans have been also secured.
I have since found out from a fellow "ppruner" that the company has ordered another Let 410, and will plan to operate the two 410's (with standard Walter powerplants), and the 2 Caravans.
The company is currently operating in charter at the moment but will have a name change on its new updated AOC, for RPT in Regional NSW.
