Alliance Airlines FIFO Charters to Emerald and Middlemount

Lloyd F in Brisbane reports that Alliance Airlines has commenced operating mining FIFO charter flights from Brisbane to Emerald and return with Fokker 100 jet aircraft. Fokker 100 VH-XWM was noted operating the QQ1020/1021 service on Monday 17 January, with the aircraft arriving in Emerald late in the afternoon.

These new flights are in addition to Alliance Airlines' continuing mining FIFO charter flights from Brisbane to Middlemount and return with Fokker 50 turbo-prop aircraft.

It appears that no set timetable exists for these flights, with the days of operations varying over the last couple of months.
