Then on Tuesday 29 July, VH-CYK was photographed loading before it then departed Rockhampton Airport for Darwin as PARTEC821 operating what has reported to be a charter for the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
VH-CYK then returned to Brisbane from Darwin as PARTEC822.
This is possibly the first time we have seen ASL Airlines Australia operating into Central Queensland. Of interest, ASL Airlines Australia is the former Pionair - an Australian charter and cargo airline which is based at Bankstown Airport in Sydney - and was taken over in early March 2023. It is a subsidiary of ASL Aviation Holdings.
Meanwhile, also on Tuesday 29 July, there were three Virgin Australia closed charter flights between Rockhampton Airport and Darwin operated by three different Boeing B737-800 aircraft which all flew up from Brisbane at different times during the day - VH-FH arrived as VOZ9901 and departed as VOZ9002, VH-YFE in as VOZ9905 and out VOZ9006 and VH-YFS in as VOZ9909 and out as VOZ9010.

These were also believed to be closed charter flights for the ADF.
