There may be more

Still have to do the tail but.:)

I am not sure what is going to happen with the tail, and the E190's have not been touched yet.

IQA is the first E190 to receive the NJE sticker. Once the E190's are done the Q400's will start to get the tails done

IYP looks to be the one coming to Brisbane. Getting cabin work done in ADL before it's arrival Monday night

NC504D planned into Brisbane at 7:10pm tomorrow

E190 VH-IQU has NJE titles now.

Any photos of IQU?

Sorry mate, IQY, when I edit and upload to JP there will be one.

CH-Aviation has reported that REX/NJE will add an wet-leased Q400 capacity for WA ops

National Jet Express to Expand Fleet with Ninth Dash 8-400NG Aircraft
August 29, 2023

SOURCE:Airliner Watch.
Key Points:

National Jet Express (NJE), part of the Rex Group, is set to receive its ninth Dash 8-400NG aircraft in October, primarily to serve its extended contract with the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA).


The new aircraft will facilitate extra flights to Moranbah, a mining community located 1000 km north of Brisbane in the Bowen Basin.


NJE is in the late stages of discussions for two more contracts in the mining and construction sectors, signaling a potential expansion of Dash 8-400NG services across Queensland.


NJE Eyes Further Growth in Mining and Construction Sectors Across Queensland
SYDNEY — National Jet Express (NJE), a subsidiary of Australian operator Rex Group, is gearing up to welcome a new addition to its fleet—a De Havilland Dash 8-400NG aircraft, equipped with 82 seats. Slated to enter service in October, this will be the ninth Dash 8-400NG aircraft for NJE and the second one specifically deployed to buttress its enduring contract with mining conglomerate BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA).

Chris Hine, Managing Director of NJE, expressed his satisfaction with the market's reception to the Dash 8-400NG services since their launch in July. "We have been delighted by the response we have received to our commencement of Dash 8-400NG services," Hine said. He also indicated that the company anticipates expanding its Queensland-based fleet further in 2024, driven by strong demand.

The new aircraft will enhance NJE's capabilities to serve the mining community of Moranbah, situated in the Bowen Basin and roughly 1000 kilometers north of Brisbane. The additional flights are part of NJE's strategy to support and cultivate its long-term association with BMA, which officially commenced operations on July 1, 2023.

Beyond the scope of its collaboration with BMA, NJE is on the verge of finalizing negotiations for two additional contracts in Queensland. These contracts, focusing on the mining and construction industries, suggest an imminent expansion of Dash 8-400NG services throughout the state. "Based on the demand we are seeing, we fully expect to further grow our Queensland-based fleet in 2024," added Hine.

IYK due into Brisbane on the 21st October as the second Q400

New Q400 will be VH-8QA and painted in Wagga Wagga not sure of previous owner

VH-8QA is scheduled to arrive in Perth this afternoon.

VH-IYK the 2nd Q400 arrived at BNE last night from ADL.

Will start flying to Emerald, Moranbah and Rocky from this week

8QA due to enter service on Thursday pending all goes well. Will be flying with the PR tail with the painting being delayed

Oh good to know.

Has now been painted all white with a NJE sticker on the sides

8QA entered service on the 26/10/23.

REX today announced flights from BNE to CNS, oddly though, they will be operated by NJE Q400s, commencing 22/11

Appears to be in connection with announcement of new FIFO operations - see media release of 23 Oct (I can't work out how to copy the direct link for the specific media release, sorry) at link below which notes a new FIFO route of CNS-TSV-MOV.

https://rex.com.au/MediaAndPressClip...st.aspx?y=2023

Not sure how the BNE-CNS RPT service (north on Wednesday arvo, south on Thursday arvo) works with the second weekly frequency of the new FIFO run, though.

The BNE-CNS flight by REX is only once a week .It uses a Q400 of NJE.

ZL 1064 departs BNE at Noon on Wednesdays arr CNS at 1500 hrs.
ZL1079 departs CNS on Thursdays at 1330 hrs arr BNE at 1615 hrs.
