Historia

MacAir Airlines was a regional airline that operated flights out of Queensland, Australia. The airline offered scheduled passenger flights to almost 30 destinations around Townsville, Cairns and Brisbane.

MacAir Airlines was first established in 1992 as McKinlay Air Charters - it primarily operated chartered routes up until 1998 when it added scheduled services to its network. In 2000, McKinlay Air Charters was sold to Transjet, the owner of Transtate Airlines. The two airlines decided to merge and become MacAir, with the airline eventually acquiring Horizon Airlines in 2003.

MacAir Airlines was a partner with Qantas, the flag carrier of Australia. This meant that the airline had worldwide distribution through Qantas' reservation system.

Update: MacAir Airlines placed itself into voluntary administration and ceased operations in 2009.
