Under the arrangement, RAAF’s air-to-air refuelling aircraft, the KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport, will be able to refuel Indian Armed Forces aircraft.
The Dash 8-Q400 VH-8QC and Embraer E190 VH-8EB bring the airline’s total fleet to 26, including 11 Q400s and eight E190s. It will use the new planes to service its growing Queensland operations and bolster its operating base in WA.
The airline is believed to be negotiating with Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport to launch a new route to Melbourne, which was reportedly one of Bonza’s more successful services before its collapse earlier this year.
