Cape Air Transport Islander VH-IOA - Plus Tigerair A320 VH-VND - at Mackay Airport

Cape Air Transport (of Far North Queensland) Pilatus Britten-Norman BN2A-20 Islander VH-IOA was photographed at Mackay Airport on Sunday 27 July as it called in briefly for fuel.  It arrived Cairns, where it had earlier arrived from Coen.

VH-IOA eventually departed to Maryborough.

Last Thursday 24 July, Tigerair (Tiger Airways) Australia Airbus A320 VH-VND was photographed as it prepared for departure to Melbourne (Tullamarine) as TGW745, having earlier arrived from there as TGW744.

Meanwhile, Virgin Australia Embraer E-190 VH-ZPR continues to be spotted in Central Queensland wearing a red nose with its white Virgin colour scheme.  On Saturday 26 July, it was noted calling into both Mackay (as shown below) and Rockhampton Airports.

Sister-ship VH-ZPM - which wears red Pacific Blue colours and titles but with a white nose - is yet to be photographed in CQ - hopefully this week!

Finally, a couple of bizjet movements at Mackay Airport including the departure of Special Mining Services / Flight Options (Australia) Cessna 510 Citation Mustang VH-PWX back to Bankstown late on Thursday 24 July.  And the arrival back into Mackay on Saturday 26 July of locally-based Raytheon 390 Premier 1 N7088S from Melbourne (Essendon) after it flew down there a week ago.
