Turboprop air charter, freight and aerial survey operator in Queensland and Victoria
Southern Airlines is an Australian aviation company offering air charter, freight and aerial survey flying. Its website lists bases at Cairns and Mareeba in Far North Queensland and at Tooradin in Victoria, south-east of Melbourne. The listing on file places it at Moorabbin Airport, which the current website does not mention.
For passenger and freight charter, the company flies two Beechcraft 1900 turboprops, each able to carry up to 19 passengers, around 2.4 tonnes of freight, or a mix of both. A smaller twin listed as an AC50 takes up to six passengers or about 650 kg of freight. Charters are offered across Queensland and the rest of Australia, and internationally on request.
A separate survey fleet of a Partenavia P.68, two Piper Chieftains and a Turbo Commander 690A supports aerial survey work, which the company says holds BARS Green certification. Maintenance is provided through an associated business, Vector Aviation Maintenance.
The Beechcraft 1900 suits group, crew-change and freight movements on regional routes rather than long-range private jet travel. The website does not state the company's founding year or air operator certificate details, so flyers should confirm these when requesting a quote.
