On Wednesday 27 December, nice American registered Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 bizjet N1013 was noted arriving into Hamilton Island Airport from the Gold Coast.

After parking for around an hour, it departed to Mackay Airport where it looked to be parking up for a couple of days.

On Tuesday 26 December, Business Aviation Solutions Dassault Mystere Falcon 50 VH-FJQ was noted arriving into Hamilton Island Airport from Bankstown via Bathurst in New South Wales. It appears to have remained parked over on Hamo.

While another nice helicopter was spotted calling into both Mackay and Gladstone Airports also on Tuesday 26 December, in the form of Skyhook Helicopters (of Salamander Bay in New South Wales) Eurocopter EC130B4 helicopter VH-JRD.

Finally, on the very lighter side of aviation movements - and maybe not quite corporate movements but private movements none-the-less - a pair of Amateur-built Sling 4 ultralight aircraft registered VH-VWC and VH-VAZ were noted arriving into Hamilton Island Airport from their Archerfield base via a fuel stop at Gladstone Airport also on Thursday 29 December.

Both look to have remained parked on Hamo as well.
