A second base was established in Cairns. It was soon operating the most extensive network of routes throughout regional Queensland. From bases in Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns it served major cities and small regional communities throughout the state including communities on Cape York Peninsula and in the Torres Strait, major coastal cities and islands, and cities and towns in western Queensland.
