History
Nexus Airlines launched on 17 May 2023 announcing plans to commence regular public transport (RPT) services with five De Havilland Canada Dash 8-Q400 turboprop aircraft leased from Nordic Aviation Capital.[1][2][3][4]
The first flight on the Geraldton to Broome via Karratha and Port Hedland route commenced on 10 July 2023. The airline has exclusive rights to operate the route until June 2027.[5]
On 28 July 2023, a Northern Route between Broome and Darwin via Kununurra was established, in competition with incumbent operator Airnorth.[6] Initially four flights a week were operated on this route, in May 2024 this increased to daily.[7] The route was discontinued in August 2025 after it became "financially unsustainable".[8]
On 2 April 2024 Nexus commenced RPT flights between Perth and Kalgoorlie twice daily one day per week.[9]
