A Few Corporate Air / Vee H Aviation SAAB 340B and Cessna 441 Conquest Movements Around CQ Airports

Over the last couple of days, there were many and varied Corporate Air  / Vee H Aviation aircraft coming and going at various Central Queensland Airports - including one overnight diversion!

Early on Monday 29 October, Cessna 441 VH-VEJ was noted landing at Clermont Aerodrome from Brisbane.  It then went to Townsville before returning back to Clermont Aerodrome later in the day.  It then returned to Brisbane, possibly via Emerald Airport.

Fellow Cessna 441 VH-VEY was noted completing a return flight to Middlemount Aerodrome from and back to Brisbane.

Metro 23s VH-VET and VH-VEU were noted operating the morning and afternoon regular passenger transport (RPT) flight from Brisbane to Biloela / Thangool Airport and back.

SAAB 340B VH-VEF was perhaps the most interesting movement, flying North from Brisbane bound for Moranbah Airport on a Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) charter flight.  Due to storms in the area, it was forced to divert to Clermont Aerodrome where it looked to stay for the night.

While fellow SAAB 340Bs VH-VEP completed a flight into Roma Airport from and back to Brisbane.

Then early on Tuesday 30 October, VH-VEF departed Clermont Aerodrome for Moranbah Airport before returning to Brisbane.  VH-VEF, along with Cessna 441 VH-VEY then both flew into Moranbah Airport later in the day also from Brisbane.  Both later returned to the capital.

While Metro 23 VH-VEU was noted yet again completing the daily RPT flight from Brisbane to Biloela / Thangool Airport and back.
