Regional airline and air charter company Skytrans Australia, a part of Avia Solutions Group, has launched a new charter regional route between Sydney and Cobar, the company said today (February 23).
The first phase of these flights commenced on January 19 and will continue until mid-May 2026. The route will be serviced by 36-seat Dash 8-200 aircraft based in Sydney. The aircraft also operates 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”, said Skytrans chief commercial officer Richard George. “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. Skytrans is planning further regional network expansion with both scheduled and contracted flying.
