Alliance Airlines acquires four additional aircraft for fly- in, fly-out services

Alliance Airlines, a leading provider of “fly-in, fly-out” (FIFO) air services for Australia’s resources industry, reported the acquisition of four additional aircraft. Two of these aircraft are 100-seat Fokker F100 twinjets and the remaining two, which are new to Australia, are 70-seat Fokker F70 Long Range jets (F70LR). The F70LR can fly nonstop from all major regional centres and capital cities on the eastern seaboard to Western Australian mine sites. The additional aircraft, the first of which arrived in Australia over the weekend, are being introduced specifically to support the rapid expansion currently being experienced by the resources industry.
