TAA operated a network of internal services inside Tasmania. The airline bought four Queen Airs for these routes and also for use in Queensland. The economics of a trunk airline operating light aircraft saw TAA and competitor Ansett abandon such routes in favour of third-level airlines formed by air charter operators. -TGA was sold to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
