HISTORY


The airline was established in 1987 as Lincoln Airlines (based in Port Lincoln ). It merged with Augusta Airways (based in Port Augusta ) and was renamed Airlines of South Australia (ASA) in 1997 .

In October 2003 , Airnorth (based in Darwin , Northern Territory ) purchased both Airlines of South Australia and Emu Airways (another small regional airline, based in Adelaide , operating from Adelaide to Kingscote ) and merged the three companies into a single business entity called RegionalLink owned by aviation services company Capiteq Group . The participating airlines continued to trade in their local markets under their own names, the logos of which were featured on the fuselages of aircraft within the group.

On Monday 31 October 2005 Capiteq Limited, the parent company of Airlines of South Australia and Emu Airways, announced its intention that both airlines would cease operations effective Wednesday 9 November 2005 , citing the entry of QantasLink (soon to start flying to Port Lincoln and Kingscote) and other factors in their decision. This left Port Augusta with no scheduled air service.
