The aircraft, a 36-seat Embraer ERJ 135 jet, was greeted by an Airservices ARFF water cannon salute as it taxied to the terminal.

Jetgo is offering double-daily services between Sydney and Gladstone, breaking the QantasLink monopoly previously on the route.

The airline, which was primarily a charter and fly-in/fly-out operator prior to gaining its high capacity jet RPT Air Operator’s Certificate in October, is adding a second RPT service in January when it commences flights between Brisbane and Tamworth.

    I’ve just booked a flight with them in 2 weeks. $398 return – bargain! Can’t wait to travel in my first ERJ-135. Whilst I’m not a Qantas basher, I dare say the experience might be nicer than a Q400…fingers crossed they’re still flying in 2 weeks…..

    well done Jet go, you will do more sectors a day than the Dash8,

  • I really do hope JetGo succeed, it certainly wouldn’t be an easy feat getting a service like that up and running,

    Best wishes to them.

    Cancelled on second day due lack of pax. One pax only.] Bad time of year to start what is a business type market. Come back in Feb 15….
