Kendell

From Free net encyclopedia

Kendell was a major regional airline servicing South Eastern Australia, the airline was put into Administration along with its parent company, Ansett Australia in 2001. Unlike Ansett, Kendell continued to operate a limited schedule, and also filled a temporary void left by Ansett by flying between Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne and Melbourne-Mt Gambier-Adelaide.

In 2002, Kendell, and fellow Ansett subsidiary, Hazelton Airlines, were sold to a consortium known as Australiawide Airlines. In August 2002, Hazelton and Kendell, under the ownership of Australiawide Airlines , merged to create Regional Express.

Kendell airlines was founded in 1966 by Don Kendell as a Charter airline, with a Piper Apache and two Piper Cherokees. In 1974, the airline acquired a Riley Heron and started operating revenue flights.
