Only in Queensland can you go from excavator hire to airline operations….

[Brenden S]

Apparently they are just a middle man.

E175's AND 195'S now..Lot's of spelling errors but hey they may be foreign?:)

Should be interesting. I wonder how they'll compete with NJE and AerLink.
I agree that the fleet page is a bit weird; it seems to be written by a PR person rather than someone with an insight into the fleet: https://greatsouthernair.com.au/our-fleet

They've also pinched their "Embrear" seat map from the Helvetic Airways website: https://www.helvetic.com/en/fleet#!tab=embraer_190-e1_112

QQ has 3 x ex. Helvetic E190's in their fleet.

[lloyd fox]

Any update Brenden?:)

Cheers.

According to this site - they have secured an AOC, and lease agreement for 2 ATR... But are also looking for an initial investment of $3,500,000 AUD

I wonder if that is intended to be the new home of VH-FVP? I think they are a long way away from starting.

[lloyd fox]

Thanks Stirling and yes Mark it looks like it.

Anyone else cringe when they read 'aircrafts' multiple times on that page? no? guess it's just me then :(

[lloyd fox]

They have replaced the ATR's with ERJ 145's.

[MarkR]

Change of bait for the fishing exercise!

[lloyd fox]

I have read they have got a E190.

[lloyd fox]

Flights start BNE-EMD 31Dec according to their facebook.:)

[Stirling D]

Their ‘e190’ they have been using in their photos is still flying in Russia… ��

[lloyd fox]

Yes no hurry for it to be here.:)

[lloyd fox]

Rego on E190 image is VH-GSA.

GSA is already allocated so ?

GSA is the acronym. Likely will have an alpha rego.

[Greg Hyde]

GSA is the acronym. Likely will have an alpha rego.

Not kidding !

In the past some companies (eg: VA/QQ) have done deals with aircraft owners to acquire specific regos.

[lloyd fox]

They have a schedule on their web site.You have to dig around to find it.
4 flights a week starting early Feb BNE-EMD

[Stirling D]

Their website seems to have been deleted in the past week... 🤔

[Robert.M]

Seemed too good to be true. ;)

[lloyd fox]

Yes saw that but for a few days it had new web site coming soon so not 100% sure..:)
