Possible new airline starting

[Jarden S]

These 2 ATR42s are new to Cairns and both have striking blue and yellow livery there is also a all white ATR nearby. A quick look up on CASA and the leaseholder for them is Flightline Services so anyone have knowledge of plans for them or a new airline being set up perhaps?

Hevilift of PNG were advertising recently that they planned to operate ATR-42's soon.These 2 aircraft are from Trans Maldivian Airlines.

[Jarden S]

So these 2 are freighters and not passenger ones. And will end up with PNG regos then.

Jarden, was trying to make out the reg of the BAE125 parked in between these 2 ATR's. Also the all white ATR looks like VH-RVV but the mesh in the fence obscures the R so could be a K.

Just me being nosey

It's AVV it was in PNG for a while but I can't remember who. Been in cairns for a while now not doing alot

[lloyd fox]

Jarden NO

That is why i spelt out HEVILIFT of PNG -Nothing to do with HEAVYLIFT .
These will be pax.

Hevilift own the Regional group of airlines of which one used to operate the Brasilias out of CNS to Bamaga.

Not sure it's a BAE 125......leading edge of tail fin too angular..... maybe a Dassault Falcon 20 or similar.......very hard to tell from angle of photo.

[Jarden S]

Yes he is right about the white ATR its AVV I could go and check if the biz jet is still there to get the rego.

Thanks Damian/Jarden; you're right and it looks like Falcon 10 WJW. It's the only active Falcon 10/20 in Oz as far as I know.
