[edit] History

The airline was formed and started operations in 1971 as an aircraft charter operation based in Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia. In 1989 the Company was acquired by David and Barbara Miller. Regular regional airline services across western New South Wales were commenced in 1991, when Hazelton Airlines divested itself of it's piston-engined aircraft and the routes served by those aircraft.

In 2005 Regional Express acquired all the shares in Air Link, which is now run as an independent airline under the management of David Miller within the Regional Express group.
