21.01.2022 Need a travel idea for the long weekend? Jump on one of our flights to Lightning Ridge from Dubbo and explore this incredible regional community of miners, artists and nomads. We love it - and we've written a little article about what's on, and what's happening in 'The Ridge'

21.01.2022 Great article today on page 3 of the @dailyliberal! Thanks for the coverage, and continued support of Dubbos favourite airline! ... #dailyliberal #dubbo #dubbonsw #dubbocity #dubvegas #airline #regionalairline #airliner #pilot #pilots #engineer #engineers #aviation #generalaviation #avgeek #aviationgeek See more

20.01.2022 Listening to the Ray Hadley Morning Show while flying, Mark sends Ray a snapshot from the wing of one of our Piper Chieftains - while flying from Dubbo to Bourke! Thanks for the mention Mark - Check out the audio clip!

20.01.2022 FACT: Air Link is not shutting down. Or going broke... Wed like to share a little background about our company, and let you know that were here and very determined to stay. Air Link is part of a larger group - Aviation Logistics; which is an Australian-owned and run collective of general aviation companies. Together, we operate flights across Australia, in every aspect of aviation including aeromedical (which is pretty hot busy right now), charter, scheduled services, frei...ght & mail delivery flights, and government funded flights to community hubs in outback Australia. Were diverse. Were Australian. Were well resourced (60+ aircraft). Were backed by government and regional council groups, and most importantly, were united in providing exceptional service during exceptional circumstances. Air Link are part of a group of general aviation companies reaching out to the NSW and Federal governments for assistance right now. This is true, and well published in the media right now. We are doing this to stand united with other members of the aviation community who are doing it tough right now. Our business is more agile than others, but with some assistance, we might just be able to keep more of our pilots employed and ready to fly you on your mission.

19.01.2022 Thanks for flying with us Dominic Perrottet MP

19.01.2022 A great day out with Outback Opal Tours visiting the Opal fields and three unique bush pubs. Kids and adults had a blast. Spec-ing for opals, chats with the lo...cals, icy cold beers and homemade scones. Expert commentary connecting us with the heart and soul of Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia and surrounding communities. Air Link got us here on the regular air services to Lightning Ridge. Back to the Ridge in time to empty our pockets of local treasures before dinner. See more

19.01.2022 Air Link Still Flying On Schedule to Remote North Western NSW While major Australian airlines - Qantas & Virgin continue reducing scheduled services, and storing their aircraft in the outback, Air Link continues doubling down on our commitment to the regional NSW communities of Bourke, Walgett & Lightning Ridge. These flight schedules were printed back in November 2019. explains Air Links General Manager Ron OBrien, handing over a page showing the 6 return flights each w...eek from Dubbo. When Air Link resumed regular flights to these communities last year, we made a commitment to the people living and working in Bourke, Walgett and Lighting Ridge; which weve kept throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Those schedules are still current right now, and were proud to say weve continued to fly this entire time on schedule, without cancellations or delays. Part of the success of Air Link Airlines, and critical to providing this exceptional service to these remote communities, is the use of small regional airliners seating up to 7 passengers. These Piper Chieftain aircraft offer the same comfortable legroom of larger airliners, with brand new leather seats and air conditioning to keep our passengers cool in summer, and warm in winter. These compact aircraft are tried and tested in Australian conditions, used by aviation trailblazers Hazelton Airlines and the original owners of Air Link Airlines here in Dubbo. Take a look inside these amazing aircraft in the gallery here, but to truly appreciate just how comfortable they are to fly in youll need to book a ticket on a scheduled flight or charter the whole aircraft with your family or a group of mates! Our booking process is another key to Air Links success during these testing times for the airline industry. Were working closely with travel agencies and government departments to streamline the ticket buying process by providing flexible airfare options through our website and by phone. With three options available for every seat, from our Flexi Fare offering full flexibility and cancellation, to our Community Fare offering discounted seats for permanent residents of the remote communities served, theres a range of prices and options to suit every traveler. Air Links scheduled services depart weekdays, daily from the main Passenger Terminal at Dubbo Airport, with connecting flights to Sydney, and beyond available with major airlines. To view our full flight schedule, or to book a ticket or just find out more about our great little company, visit our website www.airlinkairlines.com.au

17.01.2022 Air Link are (and have been) operating charter flights from Moruya, Merimbula, Canberra and all fire affected airports this week and throughout this weekend. Pictured is one of our Citation Mustangs on approach to a very smokey Canberra Airport on Thursday with an Patient Transfer from Moruya Hospital. Call our operations team if you need an evacuation, or supplies delivered. We are assisting all those we can!

17.01.2022 No filter. Just the great Australian Outback

17.01.2022 Big news this week for Air Link! Our Chief Pilot and Executive Director Mark Wardrop, and Executive Director Matthew Kline received formal CASA approval to operate the Cessna Citation Mustang jet & Beechcraft King Air turboprop, in addition to expanding our approvals to fly international flights, air ambulance and search & rescue flights. Look out for our aircraft in the skies throughout South... East Asia, the Pacific and Australia-wide from today! #KingAir #CessnaCitation #InternationalFlights #Medevac #AirAmbulance #SearchandRescue #AirLink

16.01.2022 Need a package delivered from Darwin to Sydney with 100% reliability? Our clients chose to rely on Air Link this week, so we took off late on Saturday afternoon to meet our partner company Chartair in Longreach for a package swap. They flew the time critical samples from Darwin, NT, we picked it up from their crew in Longreach, QLD and flew it back to Bankstown, NSW at over 800km/h in our Citation Mustang jet. We regularly use the extensive resources available to us within the Air Link AirMed GroundMed Wingaway Chartair group, to make charters happen which would otherwise be impossible with smaller general aviation companies - so if you have a challenging job, give us a call!

16.01.2022 Aircraft purchase adds to capacity! Air Link is now operating our very own Beechcraft King Air - which gives us the capability to perform medevac and patient transfer flights, as well as international operations throughout the Asia Pacific region. Thanks to the Daily Liberal Dubbo for the article, and congratulations to the medical crew Chanel Moore, Cathy Mcgrath Rhys McClintock for performing the first medical flight in the aircraft.

15.01.2022 It’s time! Holidays are being planned all over NSW in response to Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s announcement this week that regional NSW is open for holidaymakers, adventure seekers and anyone else who just wants to get out of the house and explore! We’re so excited! Here at Air Link, we love nothing more than a great outback adventure since 1974 we’ve been exploring remote NSW to discover some incredible destinations in the most unlikely of places. So in the spirit of adventure, and celebration of the great Australian outback, we’re sharing a few holiday ideas that you can book right now (that’s from the 1st of June 2020). Lets get right to it. #travel #adventure #explore #holidays #vacation #holiday #traveling #trip #discover #destinations

15.01.2022 There is an element of truth to the rumour that Santa was sighted on one of Air Link's flights recently. While the elves are busy at the North Pole in the last minute rush to finish off making all our presents for Christmas 2019, Santa took the opportunity to take a flight in one of Air Link's refurbished Piper Chieftain aircraft. He came away very impressed and made particular note of how much more comfortable the seats were compared to the seat in his sleigh! We are hoping Santa might be able to join Air Link for another flight or two before he heads home to get his reindeer and sleigh out of the barn for his flight on Christmas Eve.

15.01.2022 Craving a tropical getaway but stuck within NSW? There’s one place to go and that’s Lord Howe Island! Since Lord Howe Island reopened for tourism in October ‘20, our crews have been back and forward from the island regularly with holiday makers and brands who are craving a dose of paradise it really is just like a tropical paradise! So what’s going on over there? What makes it such an idyllic holiday destination? We’ve just written a short guide on how to do #lordhoweisland RIGHT!! Check it out on the website

14.01.2022 Its day one of our RPT services between Dubbo and Bourke! Captain Matt Williams was chosen to fly our inaugural service, and our first passengers reported an exceptionally smooth flight this morning. Thankyou to those passengers choosing to fly with us, and were looking forward to establishing these much needed links between Dubbo and regional communities Bourke, Walgett, and Lightning Ridge.

14.01.2022 FACT: The fewer contact points, the better... Flying privately means just that. Its just our pilot, you, and the people you choose to fly with. Airports are big places and although they might be empty right now (more on that in fact 2), are filled with hundreds, maybe thousands of people. Airliners are filled with hundreds of people too, and who knows who sat in that seat before you? Did the cleaners really clean every piece of every one of the 150+ seats on that Boeing 737...s 30 minute turnaround? Did the check-in staff touch someone elses phone right before they grabbed yours to scan your boarding pass? OK ok, well stop. You get it. Airports, and airliners are by nature, prone to thousands of contact points. Lets compare that to a private flight, where you can literally drive right to the aircraft youve chosen to charter. Between your car and that plane, you dont have to touch a thing. We dont have boarding passes, we dont check luggage, its just you, and your pilots; and your pilot is not sick (like most others, we have a strict policies in place regarding this). Step on board our aircraft, where capacities vary between 4 - 9 seats, and we have plenty of time to clean EVERY part of those cabins (and we do, every time). What about the air conditioning system you say? No problem, well explain that in Fact 3. Did we mention we use our own private terminals at major airports around Australia too? That means only a handful of contacts during the entire travel process.

13.01.2022 FACT: Air Link is about saying yes. In all our years of flying in regional NSW, weve had a mantra of saying yes to our clients. Were all about working out a way to make a flight happen. Whether its a tricky time of day, a lot of luggage, or multiple stops over multiple days. Even global pandemics and zombie apocalypses. Where others may say too hard, cant be done, or simply no - well work out a safe way to make it happen. Our clients can vouch for that! Give th...e team a call to discuss your charter requirements at any time. Were always available and have our aircraft and crews are ready to go right now. Literally anywhere in Australia is within reach for us and our fleet (check them on our website). We would love Air Link to be part of your story and you part of ours during this unparalleled time in aviation. And, perhaps most importantly of all, stay safe and take every precaution you can during this unprecedented event.

10.01.2022 The boss of Air Link has hinted at future jobs growth at the Dubbo headquarters:

08.01.2022 Our beautiful Piper Chieftains are almost ready! Only a few weeks until we're flying daily from Dubbo in these newly refurbushed aircraft

07.01.2022 FACT: Pressurized aircraft pose no risk to Coronavirus infection... We hear the myth all the time that pressurized aircraft recirculate the same air around and around the cabin, slowly infecting all occupants with the same virus. This is NOT true. Cabins in small aircraft dont actually hold that much air, and the way the system works is to push filtered air from the engines into the cabin to heat, cool, and pressurize it. That air doesnt actually stick around for long, beca...use it quickly gets released at the back of the aircraft through something called the outflow valve. Because the air is being fed in at such a high volume from the engines, it also flows back out quickly, leaving the occupants with an entirely fresh cabin every 1-3 minutes (depending on the aircraft size). What about unpressurized aircraft you ask? We fly those too, (our Cessna 310s, and Piper Chieftains are unpressurized) and those cabins have similar air refresh rates thanks to a different system. Unpressurised aircraft have vents in the nose which funnel fresh, cool air into the cabin at a rate proportional to the aircrafts airspeed (lets say.. 300kmph). Its obviously slowed down as it passes through the vents, but theres still a LOT of air coming into the cabin. That air has to go somewhere, so theres specially designed vents in the tail which allow the air to escape out the back of the aircraft. The refresh rate is similar; 1-3 minutes and the entire cabins air in your charter aircraft will have been replaced.

02.01.2022 FACT: Major Airlines & Airports are not reliable right now... If you are choosing to fly right now, we understand you have a compelling reason to do so. We dont need to know your reason, but were pretty sure we already know that you want to actually arrive at your destination! We dont cancel charter flights because seats arent filled. We dont delay flights to wait for anyone (except you of course!), and we certainly dont cancel flights because our airline is shutting down. Flying exceptional people, in exceptional circumstances is what we do, and we do it well. You can rely on us to get you there.
