LGW refuses acceptance of two SkyWork Dash 8-400s

Pionair Australia puts only E190 up for sale

Pionair Australia (PH, Bankstown) has appointed C&L Aviation Group to remarket its only E190 as it plans to focus on BAe Systems operations going forward.

ERJ 190-100LR VH-SEF (msn 1900435) is a 2011 build jet currently in storage at Bankstown, the ch-aviation fleets advanced module shows, and has had its Pionair's livery removed already. It has logged 19,467 hours and 18,675 flight cycles and It is due for its next maintenance inspection in September 2024.

Pionair added the ex-Niki (Austria), LGW - Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter, and Helvetic Airways Embraer jet in January 2021 but never operated the aircraft. It planned to use it and a further three units of the type to expand its passenger ACMI business and benefit from the low capital costs of adding new aircraft during the COVID-19 crisis. However, it has since told Smart Aviation Asia Pacific that it has abandoned its E190 plans and deemed the only acquired aircraft "surplus to requirements".
