Nexus Airlines is an Australian regional airline based in Kununurra, Western Australia, [1] owned by HMC Group (who also own Aviair), which launched on 17 May 2023. [2] The inaugural flight, part of Western Australia's Inter-Regional Flight Network (IRFN) from Geraldton to Broome occurred on 10 July. [3] The company slogan is ‘Connecting Us’.
The airline has two bases, one in Geraldton and the other in Broome. [4] [2]
Nexus Airlines launched on 17 May 2023 announcing plans to commence regular public transport (RPT) services on 10 July 2023 [5] with their newly acquired fleet of five de Havilland Canada Dash 8-Q400 turboprop aircraft leased from Nordic Aviation Capital. [2] [6]
In a press release from the Minister for Transport, Rita Saffioti, the Western Australian Government confirmed a $4.05 million investment over four years to 2027 to support the airline to expand WA's Inter-Regional Flight Network (IRFN). [5]
The first flight on the Geraldton-Karratha-Port Hedland-Broome route, part of the IRFN, took off on 10 July. The airline has exclusive rights to operate the route until June 2027. [3]
Flights on the Broome-Kununurra-Darwin route commenced on 28 July, in competition with incumbent operator Airnorth. Whilst four flights a week are operated on the route, there are plans to eventually increase this to daily flights in the future. [7]
