EASTLAND AIRLINES bye bye bye...

Not rumour FACT...

Eastland Airlines have shut their doors in Darwin (& everywhere I believe)... Administration/ Insolvency, whatever...

Shame really the Islands are great...

Now the race is on who will get their first???

on another issue, i see you guys are having a family fun day for the cancer society next week, $20 flights!!! good to see that you are doing something for a good cause, and giving those casuals a couple of hours flying each!!

Well this is terrible news lets hope, someone can keep offering a service to the Islands. Is Air Ngukurr aka Wimray still operating there?

Dog,

Eastland Administrators, ACP.
Paul Brake & Brian Carey 07 557 42 750

TE3:- Not kicking anyone while they are down here. It is simple FACT that they have closed their doors.

Bad luck to any creditors as I don't think anyone will get any $$$

Creditors meeting on Monday.

It will be the Tiwi Islanders and the likes that suffer. Thats why I said the race is on...

It is a pr*ck of an industry Eastland battled on for a while but seriously they were against it:-

Ansett - tookem
East West - tookem
C90 - didn't helpem
Wimray - tookem

I say well done for hangen on for so long.

Hope all the guys who were flying for them will find themselves in the air again very soon. I know some of them worked extremely hard.

It is never good when an operation closes down in this climate.

Keep your chin up.

I heard a rumour that NAC is flying in tourists on art tours to BTI without these tourists having a permit to visit. Might be interesting to see what happens when the Tiwi Land Council get back from their trip to Germany...Could be intersting to see what a large (legal) tourist operator on the islands have to say about it too.
