Skytrans Australia is eyeing national expansion of its regional aviation network with the launch of a new charter regional air route between Sydney and Cobar.
Already a leading operator in regional aviation, the airline said it is committed to long-term sustainable growth, continually expanding its turboprop fleet and will add new regional routes to strengthen the delivery of reliable and affordable air services to rural, regional and remote communities.
Weekly flights from Sydney to Cobar commenced on 19 January this year with the first phase of these flights to continue until mid-May. The route is serviced by 36-seat Dash 8-200 aircraft based in Sydney, which also operate the recently launched Skytrans services between Sydney and Lord Howe Island.
“This new charter service to the Copper City, renowned for its rich mining history and heritage, reinforces our ongoing commitment to strengthening the delivery of reliable and affordable air services to rural, regional and remote communities,” Skytrans chief commercial officer Richard George said.
“It is an exciting opportunity and a genuine privilege to continue to extend our flight network into the regions, strengthening partnerships and supporting the ongoing development of regional communities and their economic wellbeing.”
Skytrans operates a fleet of Dash 8 turboprops and Airbus A319 jets across domestic Australia and is planning further regional network expansion with both scheduled and contracted flying.
Skytrans also helps upgrade, grow and maintain essential regional air services through aircraft fleet strategies, ACMI and hybrid leasing models, and maintenance and operational solutions for any regional carrier operating across Australia.
