Brindabella to base J41 in Sydney

[Carl H.]

Not sure if this has been covered already...

Canberra-based Brindabella Airlines has announced it will base one of its 30-seater J41s in Sydney from 19NOV12. The aircraft would be used on its existing Sydney-Cobar services. The Airline currently operates a number of weekly Cobar services and seasonal (read ski season) services to Cooma from Sydney

Expect to see more of them in SYD!! I have been told that they are going to replace the whole fleet with 8x J41's (all to come from USA) & the Aeropelican scheme will disappear & be replaced by the Brindabella one!

The good old Twin Otter AeroPelican days (18/11/1982) ...

[Rob R]

Heard the same about replacing Aeroduck J32's with J41's.

[James S.]

Why would they replace the Aeropelican scheme instead of vice versa when Aeropelican took over Brindabella...

[A McLaughlin]

Brindabella hads a far more relevant name from a marketing point of view, especially as the Pelican/Belmont airport no longer has commercial services.

[James S.]

Ah, makes sense then, thanks for that.

[Jim M]

Grahame,I do remember those Twin Otter days. KZO,KZP and KZQ from memory,don't know if there were more or not.

Trust you to dig one out to take us down memory lane

Thanks
Jim

AeroPel was a great service. Flew many times . The Otters were great from a short strip.

Started my PPL at Pelican, had to watch for double-decker busses on finals.

Hmmm I don't think many Novocastrians would feel that way branding wise. Im not sure many have heard of Brindabella, no association with the region. But anyway, I still miss YPEC twin otters. :-)
