New RPT in Darwin

I hear that a small GA operator in Darwin has just bought a B200 and a Bandit
and they have all but the signed AOC from CASA for RPT.

anyone else know anything

HH and tinny

You are both very naughty boys but in this case I think you are wrong.

Last heard of said character was heading overseas.

Hello HH,

Nudge SS320 he is in the loop over this, we walked away both laughing......

I wish them all the luck, though the EMB110 is a great aeroplane doubt very much it will prove sufficient

know it all

Yes I can confirm that this is true. I know two engineers who are working on the aircraft. The aircraft are going to a small charter company in Darwin...couldnt tell me the actual company though.

troppont,

I am one step ahead of you, spoke to the engineers and then the owners of the Darwin based RPT operator.

Good blokes, though I may be rude in saying blunt to them that they are paying a tad over the market rate for this aircraft

I wish them well though!

But you are wrong yet again,

I for one know the operator quite well and incidentially know the aircraft, my memory be a little out of wack but inst it BWC????

We spoke to these guys about the ability to x hire the EMB110 when eventually we get our aircraft up and running and return would give them our BAe 32EP when needed [somehow in the first year we wont have three 32EP's running at 1500hrs each a year]

PM me and i'll let a little more looose

Ok all I spoke to a gent who was just in Perth collecting a B200 for the Darwin operator...this RPT company is on the go...however he didnt give me the company name. They will be looking for FO' s as well as suitably qualified capt's. $$$$
