Alliance Airlines Fokker 50 VH-FKW Pops into Roma and Gladstone Airports

On Thursday 16 November, Alliance Airlines Fokker 50 VH-FKW was noted visiting Gladstone Airport operating what looked to be a closed charter flight from and back to Brisbane as UTY3384/3385.

It had arrived into Brisbane from Adelaide, passing through Moomba and Roma Airports on Wednesday 15 November as UTY3380/3382/3383.

VH-FKW has since returned to Adelaide later on Thursday but as UTY3387.

Meanwhile, local plane spotter Michael F has sent through some great photos of some other Alliance Airlines aircraft visiting Gladstone Airport operating on behalf of Virgin Australia on scheduled services from and back to Brisbane.  He recently captured some great photos of Fokker F-70s VH-NKU, re-painted VH-JFE and newest airframe VH-NKQ as they operated into the port city.

Thanks mate!
