American Registered Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express Bizjet N5883 Calls into Hamilton Island Airport - Plus More!

On Sunday 27 October, possibly Australian based but American registered Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express bizjet N5883 was noted arriving into Hamilton Island Airport from Sydney.


It had appeared to arrive into Australia from overseas late on Friday night.

UPDATE!  On Wednesday 30 October, N5883 departed Hamilton Island Airport and returned to Sydney.

Reports suggest that this colourful bizjet could in fact be Sydney-based and research reveals that until 2022, it was on the Australian Aircraft register as VH-SPJ.


While Metro Holdings Australia (Air Link - Dubbo) Cessna 525A CitationJet2 Bizjet VH-EJT also flew into Hamilton Island Airport but from Bankstown.

Jampair P/L (Navair Flight Operations) Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300E bizjet VH-NSQ as "Navair 188" flew down from Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport to the Gold Coast and then Bankstown. It had originally arrived into Prosie from those places on Friday 25 October before departing to Cairns and Brisbane and then returning to Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport on Saturday.

And LifeFlight (Aeromed) Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 bizjet VH-OFB "Ambulance 624" flew down from Townsville to Rockhampton Airport and then Brisbane.  

Plus fellow And LifeFlight (Aeromed) Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 bizjet VH-OFC "Ambulance 634" visited Mackay Airport from Brisbane.  It also visited Mackay Airport and Rockhampton Airport on Saturday 26 October

Finally, also on Sunday 27 October, re-registered LifeFlight Australia (Cronin Aviation Services) Bell 412EP helicopter VH-EPH was spotted passing through Longreach Airport.  It looked to arrive from Mount Isa and departed to Emerald Airport and the Bundaberg Airport.

UPDATE!  On Monday 28 October, VH-EPH departed Bundaberg Airport for Archerfield.

Of interest, fellow LifeFlight Rescue Bell 412EP VH-XCY flew across to Kununurra in Western Australia from the Sunshine Coast via Bundaberg, Emerald, Longreach and Mount Isa Airports at the end of last week.
