Contract Extension with BHP Iron Ore In April 2018, Alliance Airlines announced its contract extension to supply dedicated scheduled charter flights for BHP Billiton Iron Ore for a further 12 months. Lee Schofield, Alliance’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “This additional extension allows Alliance to continue to provide industry-leading service on flights between Perth and the BHP-owned and operated Barimunya and Coondewanna airports.” Alliance Airlines has been providing services to BHP Billiton since 2002 and considers this extension to be a great acknowledgement of Alliance’s ability to provide BHP Billiton safe and cost-effective services.
Commonwealth Games Alliance Airlines was proud to provide charter flights during the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. Our Fokker 100 transported basketball teams from England, Scotland, Jamaica and New Zealand between Townsville and Cairns. Here is the baton being passed on Horn Island, in front of our Fokker 70 VH-NKQ.
Passenger Feedback “I’d like to provide some feedback on your staff from Alliance flight VA1238 from Rockhampton to Brisbane as flown February 14. In particular, I’d like to call out Emily and Simone from this flight, who were just lovely to both myself and my husband. My husband has difficulty walking due to a knee reconstruction and even though he was fine to go down the stairs, they made sure that he was put in the lift and that someone could push him into the airport as I was unable to push the wheelchair myself.” Ann and Len JUNE/JULY 2018
