Air Kangaroo Island Cessna 402B VH-ATI departed Parafield for Moorabbin on May 31 on delivery to a private owner in the Melbourne area while Beech H-18 Trigear VH-ATX was noted at Archerfield on June 18 operating with Sunland Aviation.

Eastern Australia Airlines continues to experience problems with its stall warning system on Jetstream 31 VH-TQK. Originally grounded on May 5 the problem with VH-TQK was still under investigation in late June. With the loss of the Jetstream from service Eastern has covered its capacity problems by leasing Metro III VH-SSW from Newcastle Aviation and Metro IIIs VH-NEK and VH-NEM from Tamair. Eastern is also considering the 50 seat DHC-8-300 for its high frequency Sydney to Canberra route. Present schedules show Eastern operating 62 return flights weekly between the two ports using 36 seat DHC-8-100 aircraft.
