Kendall Airlines

Any comments about this airline's service, especially the food and onboard service. Does it really serve hot meals on the 45 minutes SYD-CNR flight?
Thanks for any replies!

Being a bit of a veteran of the Saab 340 service between SYD and CBR, I can't recall ever getting "hot" food, usually I get something with salmon, a salad, a "airline" bottle of wine, and some chocolate - sometimes ice-cream (although I can only remember getting that on a BNE-CBR CRJ flight)
The Capital Shuttles are a flagship product for the Kendell Services - although the lounge in Sydney is starting to look a little "old" (the capital shuttle flights have a dedicated lounge at SYD, that is meant to have Orange Juice, Coffee, Newspapers - I have never seen any of the above but usually just pass straight through so it might be in existance.
Go to Canberra, enjoy our national Capital, stay at the Park Hyatt, and make sure you visit our new National Museum - it is certainly one of the better Social History collections I have seen.
I have heard much this particular Ansett partner. They used CRJ and Saab340s and from the trip reports, they seem to be a very good airline.

They are only crappy little planes with no audio/video and in which you can't stand up straight without hitting your head (if you're tall, which I am), so I'm never going to rate them highly. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
Given what they have to work with, they do a very good job. The first time in my life that I got an Absolut Vodka miniature in glass, not plastic, was on a Kendell CRJ a few months ago! (I didn't even know they still made them in glass, let alone that any airlines carried glass ones.)
However, I try to avoid them and catch something roomier, such as an A320 or 737 instead.
I don't think I'd bother flying CBR-SYD, however---I was able to drive between (3 hr drive) easily, and there was no drop fee for the rental car (with Hertz)

Kendall is a wholy owned regional subsidiary of Ansett. I have always encountered good service on there planes.
Food service on the "Capital Shuttle" Saab-340's SYD-CBR is very good - real glassware etc (the meal I had was a cold salmon salad but very nice). The seats are covered with sheepskin and all in all its very nice. Other Saab routes are far more basic but still good service. I haven't flown on one of the CRJ's yet so can't comment on that.
