I think it is for engine overhaul etc. Why it's being done here I didn't really ask as they are obviously on a tight schedule to get the kite back in a couple of days.

They used to have a fair few 748's at Bankstown and the ATP is a development of it.... even though Dart vs PW126, only reason I can think of.

Done a bit of research and found that Pionair have changed their trading name to Skyforce Aviation. Their website.

www.skyforce.com.au

Explains their operations, fleet etc which shows they have 2 ATP''s on offer for freight services. My fleet list book for 2011 shows that Deraya also have/had PK-DGA in their fleet.

I do recall my visit when asking for permission to take photos the chap said I'll ask the owner wasn't sure that he meant the owner of the aircraft, Skyforce or both.

Anyway Merv Dicks went there on Tuesday and established a Friday departure is on the cards.
