Who/what flies to Tassie

[Biggles78]

Have to fly to Tassie in the next week or two. Was going to deflower a Virgin but was told by a mate that he used to get a seat on a crayflight out of Morrabbin a few years ago.

Does anyone know if these flights still exits and if they do, who does one cantact? Flying from YMMB (Tyabb or Tooradin) would be a lot more convenient than an hour+ drive to Tulla and the ensuing wait and security hassles.

Thanks.

Sharp fly metro's to Tassie, Monday, Wednesday & Friday
Tasair - daily freight run, Essendon to Devonport, hobart etc
Vortex air - daily freight runs down south

Thats off the top of my head

Thanks for that. Vortex don't take passengers. Perhaps the seat is now being used for ICUS at $250 per hour.

That would want to be very good ICUS at that price.

I had heard this outfit was reputable and trained their crew well in preparation for completing night freight to Tassie.

Are you saying that actually they expect people to pay for their own training?

[machadotaughtme]

judging by the website the opportunity cost of a 90kg human takes away 90kg of freight which works out to cost about $385 to the company. Then add on practice and loading charges etc etc etc

might also be a case of supply and demand; how to reduce demand? increase the price........

Not sure what freight run Vortex does?? but maybe you could try TasAir's freight run, they could use the money.... That government cheque must be all but gone now

Vortex aka tasfast, run 3 or 4 pa31 flights a night from moorabbin to Wynyard. I also here them doing regular charters down to Bridport taking Golfers to barnbugle

I think this key word is being overlooked.

Does anyone know if this is actually the case?
I had also heard that this was a reputable op.

$1.6 million is a lot of porn though

Even with Telstra rates

Thanks AIREHEAD, never new Tasfast was aka Vortex.

Bit of tongue in cheek there anon mouse, if they have made some changes then good for them. My money is still on Sharps taking over there Tassie - King Island runs in the future...
