Regional airline and air charter company Skytrans Australia, a part of Avia Solutions Group, is further expanding its regional aviation network with the launch of a new charter regional air route between Sydney and Cobar.
Skytrans Australia has established itself as a leading operator in the Australian regional aviation market. The airline is committed to long-term sustainable growth, continually expanding its turboprop fleet and adding new regional routes to strengthen the delivery of reliable and affordable air services to rural, regional, and remote communities
Weekly flights from Sydney to Cobar commenced on January 19th, 2026. The first phase of these flights will continue until mid-May 2026. The route will be serviced by 36-seat Dash 8-200 aircraft based in Sydney, which also operate the recently launched Skytrans services between Sydney and Lord Howe Island.
“This new charter service to the Copper City, renowned for its rich mining history and heritage, reinforces our ongoing commitment to strengthening the delivery of reliable and affordable air services to rural, regional and remote communities”, said Skytrans Chief Commercial Officer Richard George. “It is an exciting opportunity and a genuine privilege to continue to extend our flight network into the regions, strengthening partnerships and supporting the ongoing development of regional communities and their economic wellbeing.”
Skytrans operates a fleet of Dash 8 turboprops and Airbus A319 jets across domestic Australia. Skytrans is planning further regional network expansion with both scheduled and contracted flying.
Skytrans Australia is uniquely placed as a beneficial partner across the regional aviation sector. Skytrans can help upgrade, grow and maintain essential regional air services with aircraft fleet strategies, ACMI and hybrid leasing models, and maintenance and operational solutions for any regional carrier operating across Australia.
