Again on Monday 26 October, QantasLink utilised the bigger Cobham Aviation-operated Boeing B717-200 jet on the scheduled service to Hamilton Island from and back to Brisbane.  VH-NXO operated as QJE1722/1723.

Finally, a few lighties have been noted calling into Hamilton Island Airport with Piper PA-28-181 VH-RMZ of Basair Australia calling in from Townsville on Monday 26 October.  While a pair of lighties were noted calling into Hamo from Gladstone on Sunday 25 October with Gold Coast-based Cessna 210-5 VH-RYB and the Darling Downs Aero Club Cessna 182RG VH-JCU both arriving and staying.
