Regional carrier Skytrans will open a second base in Brisbane after winning a $25 million contract to provide air services for natural gas producer QGC.
The three-year contract with QGC commences at the end of October and covers nine return flights per week from Brisbane to Chinchilla and Taroom, Skytrans said in a statement.
Skytrans said it had purchased two 36-seat Dash 8s to service the new contract. The airline also has two Dash 8s at its Cairns base operating to the Cape York and Torres Strait.
Collings Airline Holdings, which includes rugby league player Johnathan Thurston as a shareholder, took over the Skytrans air operator’s certificate and rebranded the airline in April, after former owner Simon Wild shut down the airline in January.
