Regional carrier Fly Corporate has expanded into Victoria for the first time with the start of nonstop flights between Melbourne Essendon and Orange.
The inaugural service took off from Orange on Monday morning, with flight FC332 operated by Saab 340B VH-VEM touching down at Melbourne Essendon about 90 minutes later, where it received a traditional welcome from the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.
The aircraft was on the ground for about an hour before operating the reciprocal FC333 back to Orange.
Fly Corporate has scheduled a single return service on weekdays as a late morning departure from Orange and a lunchtime takeoff back from Melbourne Essendon.
It is the second Fly Corporate route from Orange, following the start of flights between the NSW Central West city and Brisbane in February 2017 with Saab 340B equipment.
Regional aviation is just as important to the Australian economy as International services.
