GAM
 

Just finished up working in Emerald and noticed a number of commander aircraft and the Dornier 228 operating in central Queensland. I noticed some of the aircraft arrive early morning and sit all day prior to leaving around 18:00. I am assuming most were freight operations.

Yes all freight ops with the Dornier coming from BNE leaving around 0430 hrs.:)

Bank runs like that have been around for decades. They used to move signed cheques etc out of country towns after the bans closed. These days they take more pathology samples, x-rays and small parcels. Bank data tends to travel electronically.

The Shrike is a workhorse of that sector.

GAM also do pax FIFO and in fact that’s most of their BNE Chinchilla biz, they have a pax FIFO lounge. Info on the freight runs http://airqueensland.blogspot.com/20...nance-gam.html

That stopped 3 years ago.Skytrans now do that run.

Thanks for the info Lloyd! I am clearly behind the times :eek:
