West Wing Aviation


West Wing Aviation is a Queensland based airline that was founded in 2000 and commenced operations later on May 2, 2000.

History

The founder and CEO of the company, Peter Collings, owned airline operations running in Queensland dating back to 1992. After the company grew, Peter decided to split away from the company to start West Wing Aviations in 2000, which would provide small commute flights from the Queensland area.
During the 2015 season, another Queensland based airline, Skytrans Airlines shut down on 2 January 2015. A few days later, West Wing Aviation was requested to temporarily continue the Cape York flights in Queensland in order to prevent the isolation of remote towns. Later on 23 March 2015, a deal was made that Skytrans would be purchased under the West Wing Aviation brand and would be resurrected. It was announced that flights for Skytrans would resume on 1 April 2015 under a new brand, recovering some of its previous staff and leasing two Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft.
