The new general aviation precinct on Murphy Road is expected to see a range of aviation businesses, including flight training facilities, private jet operators, maintenance hangars, charter and tourism operations, as well as defence and aeromedical operators.

The airline has increased its anticipated fuel costs for the six months to 31 December 2026 by around $150 million to $3.75 billion, and has announced plans to ease capacity through to the end of the fiscal year.

Building on its existing Johannesburg flights from Sydney and Perth, the Flying Kangaroo will fly three times per week on 787-9 Dreamliners between Sydney and Cape Town from 19 October 2027 until 24 March 2028.

VH-ODX, an AT‑802A, was conducting spraying operations north of Cummins Town, on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, on 8 September last year when it crashed into the ground, fatally injuring the pilot, investigators detailed in their final report.

The airline is set to expand and refurbish its Brisbane domestic lounge and reopen its invitation-only Beyond Lounge in Perth. Its current lounge network spans seven airports, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

The Flying Kangaroo currently operates 73 of the narrow-body aircraft, with another three parked. Its first 737-800, VH-VXA, was retired this month after almost 25 years in service, having operated its first flight in February 2002, and will be part of the AerFin deal.
