Alliance Airlines

✅ Verified Review | Gladstone to Brisbane. I booked this flight through Virgin Australia website. But later I found out that Virgin ceased his service for some cities and gave it over to a new commercial airline called Alliance Airlines. The aircraft was a Fokker 70 with old interior look. The legroom was very tight. The airline's magazine was the only entertainment on board which hadn't been prepared tastefully. On the positive side, the crew were the most friendly cabin crew I've seen in Australian airlines. The complimentary snack (it was a 7:30am flight) was better than what Virgin used to offer. However, the only drink available was water. It is expected for an airline to offer coffee and tea in the morning, at least they can sell a few options on board. The flight time was shorter than usual as it wasn't a propeller aircraft. Handling at both airport was done by Virgin Australia so it wasn't really related to this review. Generally, it's good that a new competitor is entering the market. As a beginner in this sector, they seem to be doing acceptable job. But they should improve some issues to become a rival to other airlines in regional Australia.
