Robert Porter has been announced by North Queensland Airports as the new Mackay Airport general manager, replacing Terry Simpson, who has retired.
Mr Porter brings a strong aviation background and sound leadership capabilities to the role having recently filled senior management roles at Gold Coast Airport in aviation services and operations and standards.
He will take up his position as general manager in October.
Meanwhile Mackay Airport DeliMarche Cafe barista Enselika Kisina has won the national Compass Group Lavazza great barista competition.
Fellow barista and colleague, Sarah Jupp, also participated and was a runner up in the competition, held in Sydney last Friday.
Enselika was the youngest of 13 finalists who had 15 minutes to prepare 10 coffees.
Lastly, Adam P reports that the Western freight apron area of Mackay Airport seems to be turning more into a fly-in fly-out (FIFO) apron. One recent aircraft that arrived at Mackay Airport and has been noted operating to nearby mine sites is Pilatus PC-12/45 VH-YDO.
Also recently sighted were Piper PA-31's VH-BYG (pictured above) and VH-BCQ. These aircraft are believed to be operated by Advance Aviation which has also recently opened hangar facilities and offices in the old CQ Rescue building.
Also noted by Adam P at Mackay Airport has been to apparent introduction of a four-times-weekly Skytrans Airlines Dash-8 FIFO charter run between Clermont and Mackay. Dash-8-100 VH-QQH was noted flying out of Mackay Airport late Monday 29 August, while Dash-8-300 VH-QQM was noted flying into Clermont Aerodrome from Mackay early on Friday 2 September.
