History
Beech 1900C at Perth Airport (2001).

Emu Airways operated for close to 30 years and was previously owned by Emu Air Charter Pty Ltd. It was acquired in March 2004 by Darwin based aviation services company Capiteq Limited, as part of a major new coalition of regional air services in Australia, RegionalLink Airlines. This was considered Australia's first airline franchise operation. All of the participating airlines would continue to trade in their local markets under their own names, the logos of which were featured on the fuselages of aircraft within the group. However, Emu Airways and partner Airlines of South Australia ceased operations on 9 November 2005, citing the entry of QantasLink and other factors in their decision.

Fleet

The airline's fleet varied over thirty years of operation, and included various light passenger aircraft, including the Cessna 402. As of the acquisition by Capiteq Limited, the fleet consisted of:

gollark: How does quantum stuff come into this?
gollark: Also, it appears so far as if personality stuff is an... emergent property, I think is the right term... of the lower-level neuron interactions, rather than emerging from quantum effects in one of the neurons or something.
gollark: Not at that stage of the process, no, just when gametes are being made.
gollark: If I'm remembering correctly, when a zygote is made you just get the 23 chromosomes in each gamete merging together into one thing of 46.
