Brindabella Airlines

Canberra based regional airline Brindabella Airlines have announced the introduction of the BAE J41 Jetstream Aircraft to their fleet.

The new J41 Aircraft is a significant step up for Brindabella's fleet. The J41 will have the capacity to carry 30 passengers, 3 crew members including a flight attendant.

With a cruise speed of 540km/hour the J41 is the fastest and by far the most fuel efficient aircraft in its class. The highly efficient twin engine turboprop offers the optimum balance of performance, comfort and allows for larger luggage allowances. The world’s largest operator of the J41 is Eastern Airways (UK) that was named this year’s European Airline of the year.

The new aircraft is scheduled to arrive from USA in October and begin flying on Brindabella’s North Coast routes in late November 2007. The first routes for the aircraft will be Newcastle to Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Brisbane. A second J41 aircraft is scheduled to start on the Canberra and Newcastle routes in February 2008.

After extensive research the J41 was the obvious choice for our company due to passenger comfort, proven reliability and fantastic fuel efficiency (Jeff Boyd, CEO Brindabella Airlines).

Brindabella Airlines operate out of Canberra International Airport and currently are servicing Albury, Canberra, Newcastle, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Brisbane.
