Hevilift Australia ATR 72-500 VH-FVM Pops into Roma Airport on FIFO Charter Flight

An interesting visitor into Roma Airport on Friday 21 September was Hevilift Australia (Fixed Wing Division) ATR 72-500 VH-FVM.  I presume it completed a Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) charter flight from and back to Brisbane as HT741/742.

The possible commencement of flights into Roma Airport is an interesting development for Hevilift with both VH-FVM and their ATR 42-300 VH-YWH still also completing regular FIFO charter flights from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast to Biloela / Thangool, Middlemount and Moranbah Airports.

As mentioned below, last Friday 14 September, VH-FVM entered service with Hevilift when it completed a closed FIFO charter flight from Brisbane to Moranbah Airport and back - see Blog post below.

Nice!
