thks Brenden.

It looks like Comham is replacing BAe146's with Dash-8's (could be wrong)

[Yusef D]

Broadly speaking , yep, that's the plan Greg. More E190s possible too.

[Brenden S]

Not sure where to put this one.However today i got a call to tell me another Hevilift ATR42 was BWU-BNE.
VH-YWX is the reg and it has the new EXPRESS titles as well

I believe this may have come from CNS storage prior to BWU?? ..Anyone know and have the previous reg and airline?

FR24 is now showing TOLL ATR42F VH-TOQ as HT401 ...BWU-BNE.

Not 2 new Hevilift ATR42 deliveries in the one day??????:)

Heavilift has taken over the former Toll ATR’s

Sharp Airlines has also taken over the Toll Metro fleet.
The ex Air North Metro’s in DRW have also ferried to ADL, most likely for Sharp as well.

[Brenden S]

ex Air North Metro's owned by East West, ops by Sharp crew.

[Brian Wilkes]

Air North only have one Merto (VH-ANA)?
