The news has shocked the Illawarra region, which did not have a commercial air service until JetGo began running local flights to Brisbane and Melbourne last year.
It comes after the Dubbo Regional Council in western New South Wales lodged a claim in the Supreme Court, requesting the company be wound up over unpaid debts.Īt the time, JetGo said the newly-merged council in Dubbo had reneged on a previous agreement to waive taxes as part of an incentive agreement. In a statement, the company said the administrators were 'assessing the viability of the future operations' and it would continue limited charter operations. JetGo services many cities across regional Australia including Wollongong, Dubbo, Wagga Wagga, Albury, Rockhampton, Townsville and Karratha. The company appointed administrators on Friday and said all regular passenger transport services had been suspended. Regional commercial airliner JetGo has gone into voluntary administration, prompting it to cancel flights across the country.
