Eastern (Qantas) flies De Havilland Dash-8s.

Kendell runs the Saabs between Canberra and Sydney, and these will also be
cut back as part of the Ansett Master Plan. Ansett is withdrawing all
direct services from Canberra to Brisbane and Adelaide, and reducing
Canberra to Sydney and Melbourne.

I also recall the late East West Airlines serving free champagne in
economy.
