Also Touching Down at Gladstone Airport Monday - Alliance Fokker 70 VH-JFB and Fokker 100 VH-FKJ for QantasLink

As well as the historic JetGo Australia RPT services commencing into the industrial city, there were a couple of other interesting jet movements noted at Gladstone Airport on Monday 1 December.  Alliance Airlines Fokker jets have been operating flights for QantasLink over the last week or so and, on Monday, a pair of Fokkers operated into Gladstone Airport (and Emerald Airport).

VH-NPO appeared to be ferrying North as (at the time of writing) is scheduled to fly North from Cairns to Coen in Far North Queensland.
