Not restricted by commercial schedules, your 34-seat Dash 8 aircraft flies at low altitudes, providing unsurpassed sightseeing opportunities. Land at small airports in the heart of a destination, and discover the “real” Australia and New Zealand, far beyond the tourist track. The end result is that you spend a minimum amount of time getting there, and a maximum amount of time exploring the places you’ve come to see.
