As for anyone missing it..I would say no. However for the 'couple' who try to run the place (and I don't mean the owners) I'm sure they would!
With the few regionals who have already packed up shop in the last 6 months..I don't think it will be the last. Tough times ahead.

hello
can someone please send a link for the advert in the australian. They should be able to sell their business easily at a good price i rekon. Just the new owners will have to make it more efficient.
Their caravan and 402 operation is excellent and probably very profitable.
They ll have to stick to that and get out of the single engine stuf.

"why would you sell a money making business?"
Or perhaps the owners are smart enough to see that aviation in Australia is becoming increasingly untenable as the regulatory embuggerance rolls on, better to bail now with some money than wait.There comes a point where even a sucker would realize he'd be buying a PUP if he invested in Australian Aviation.

If there was a "Like" button, Thorn Bird and Clarry would both get my "Like" tick. All quite logical really! 
Rollout48, I deleted your post. If that is the best you can do for a first post, don't bother with any more posts.

Either way, if this is the end. It's a shame to see another go. I wish all the pilots the best of luck and hopefully the industry can turn itself around soon.
Who picks up the work? NTAS,KATAV ......

Fujiroll76 - Im not sure how you are reading into the fact that a company being for sale means the end of the company.
Its rumors like that, that cause low morale with staff and lack of trust from customers especially when looking at future contracts.
I worked there myself for a short time, the CP certainly does run a tight ship and those that follow go onto bigger and better things in the long run, with the blessing and assistance of the company.
Yes I had my own issues with management, but be honest, most employees in most companies do.
Just because the company may or may not be for sale, does not mean its going to be closed. A good example is the acquisitions of the Aviator Group better known as Slingair.
Obviously you have your own beef with them, your first post makes that extremely obvious.
There are literally hundreds of reasons the owners maybe wanting to sell a profit making company. At a point in time the passion diminishes and its time to cash out and retire or maybe the cash from the sale maybe used towards another venture. Air North maybe..
The future will tell.
To the guys and girls still there, wish you all the best
