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.

VH-DRD crashed at Mooraberrie Station on January 11, 1952. It was stripped of useful parts and abandoned. The fuselage was taken to the homestead at the north side of the airfield and used as a chicken house. In 1980 the remains of -DRD were recovered to Mt Isa where they and parts from other aircraft were restored as a memorial for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Removing the fuselage from Mooraberrie required some caution as the world's deadliest land snake, the inland taipan, would have found it a happy hunting ground for mice and rats.
