QantasLink formerly served Mount Hotham with Bombardier Q200s from Sydney, but ceased flights after the airline reported heavy losses in 2011.[3]
On 8 July 2005, a Piper PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftain charter plane crashed into terrain while attempting to make a landing at the airport, killing the pilot and two passengers. Fragments of the aircraft were said to have dropped on the ground at the nearby sub-alpine community of Cobungra.[4]
