End of the line for Vincent in Australia?

Its been a sad day for Vincent Aviation's Australian entity and for regional Australian aviation, with receivers appointed who have ceased trading and flying while they investigate the business.

The grounding does not effect Vincent Aviation Limited the New Zealand based parent company.

At news of the shutdown Vincent Aviation's BAE 146 ZK-ECO which has operated FIFO charters mainly on the BNE-RMA-BNE route ferried from BNE back to WLG.

Vincent operated the 146 along with 4x Saab SF340's and 5 B1900Ds on RPT and FIFO rotes manly from their Darwin base but recently had launched the SYD-NAA (Narrabri) replacing former operator Brindabella who collapsed earlier this year.

This is a blow as I know a couple of people who work for Vincent who know have uncertain futures, my thoughts are with them at this time
