After some time away from the region, on Wednesday 2 September, Seair Pacific / Istlecote DHC-6-100 Twin Otter VH-ZKF was noted back on the weekly Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) charter flight from the Gold Coast and Brisbane (as shown) to Rockhampton and Collinsville Airports.

On this occasion though, VH-ZKF popped into Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport before heading to Collinsville Aerodrome and then Townsville.

As usual, VH-ZKF then reversed the flight calling back into Rocky before heading to Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

At Charters Towers Aerodrome, Brisbane-based Altitude Aviation Beech B200 King Air VH-ISS completed its weekly FIFO run, arriving from Archerfield also on Wednesday 2 September.  It is due to return South on Thursday 3 September.

Brisbane-based Piper PA-31-350 VH-RPV flew into the Labona Station Airstrip within Adani Australia's Carmichael Coal Mine site from Archerfield before departing back there via Emerald Airport.

And Brescon (Toowoomba) Beech B200 King Air VH-WXN also flew into Labona but from Toowoomba-Wellcamp.  It is due to return to Wellcamp early on Thursday 3 September.
