National Jet Express (NJE) has announced the arrival of its 11th De Havilland Dash 8 Q400 turboprop and its eighth Embraer E190 jet, bringing the NJE operating fleet to a total of 26 aircraft.
The additional aircraft will support the growing number of resource contracts secured by NJE, particularly in the rapidly expanding Queensland operations, while also enhancing capacity at NJE's Western Australia operating base.
“NJE recognises that the resource sector is becoming increasingly mindful of its duty of care towards both staff and the environment. As a result, companies are moving away from the 20- to 30-year-old fuel-guzzling aircraft still used by many other charter operators. NJE boasts one of Australia's most modern, reliable, and fuel-efficient fleets for the resource sector, and our customers consistently tell us they highly value the comfort, environmental benefits, and reliability of these aircraft.”
“To meet the growing demand for our services, we continue to actively source additional aircraft and hope to add a couple more within this calendar year,” said NJE's Executive Director (Business Development), Alex Ananian-Cooper.
