Alliance Airlines Fokker F-100 aircraft VH-XWM and VH-XWN were noted operating what were believed to be charter flights from North Queensland into Mackay and Rockhampton Airports on Saturday 12 March.
VH-XWM (pictured above earlier in the year at Mackay) was noted operating as UTY563, and flew from Townsville to Rockhampton and on to Brisbane.
VH-XWN was noted operating as UTY551, and flew from Cairns to Mackay and then also on to Brisbane.
These flights may be due to the adverse weather that is hitting North Queensland, with much of the highway network between Mackay and Cairns in a complete mess. There are currently numerous road closures in the region due to the continual torential rain they are experiencing in the north.
It was noted however, that these aircraft did not carry any passengers out of Rockhampton and Mackay, and are currently parked on the General Aviation apron at Brisbane Airport.
UPDATE: These two aircraft were noted operating back to Cairns and Townsville via Rockhampton and Mackay Airports on Sunday 13 March.
VH-XWM operated out of Brisbane as UTY564 to Rockhampton and Townsville, while VH-XWN operated out of Brisbane as UTY552 to Mackay and Cairns.
