JetGo Australia's First Embraer ERJ-145LR Regional Jet VH-JGR Pops into Middlemount Aerodrome on FIFO Duties!

JetGo Australia's first Embraer ERJ-145LR regional jet, VH-JGR, has made its first visit to Central Queensland late on Tuesday 28 November, with it noted completing a Brisbane to Middlemount Aerodrome and back Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) charter flight as JG23/24.

VH-JGR arrives back at Brisbane on Sunday at the completion of its first revenue flight to Wagga Wagga and back.

As mentioned previously, this FIFO contract that JetGo Australia has picked up is on behalf of Middlemount Coal.  The flights were initially flown flown by the airlines Embraer E-135 and E-140 aircraft but now should be regularly flown by this first (possibly of four) 50-seat Embraer E-145 regional jets.

At the time of writing, VH-JGR was scheduled to return to Middlemount Aerodrome early on Wednesday 29 November, again flying in from Brisbane and back but as JG27/28.
