Avia Solutions-owned Skytrans Australia has launched a new charter regional air route between Sydney and Cobar. This follows the re-adoption of the name it used for more than 35 years.
Weekly flights from Sydney to Cobar commenced on January 19th, 2026. The first phase of these flights will continue until mid-May 2026. The route will be serviced by 36-seat Dash 8-200 aircraft based in Sydney, which also operate the recently launched services between Sydney and Lord Howe Island.

The airline was founded in 1990, but following acquisition by Avia Solutions Group in March 2025, it briefly adopted the Group’s SmartLynx Australia branding. However, SmartLynx Europe was sold by Avia Solutions in October 2025 and filed for administration shortly after. As a result, the Australian airline has now reverted to its original name, albeit with a refreshed logo.
Skytrans operates a fleet of Dash 8 turboprops and Airbus A319 jets across domestic Australia. Skytrans is planning further regional network expansion with both scheduled and contracted flying.
Welcoming the move, Skytrans Chief Commercial Officer Richard George said: “It is an exciting opportunity and a genuine privilege to continue to extend our flight network into the regions, strengthening partnerships and supporting the ongoing development of regional communities and their economic wellbeing.”
