A South Australian based charter airline, grounded since a fatal crash earlier this year, will fly again.
Rossair on Friday announced a joint venture with Victorian based AusJet.
The company's CEO Warren Puvanendren said the partnership would allow the airline to resume services for SA's mining, energy and tourism industries.
"After a challenging few months, the combination of both groups' fleet and experienced staff will allow us to commence servicing our clients immediately," Mr Puvanendren said.
"We are proud of what this opportunity with Ausjet can deliver to the SA charter market."
A Rossair plane on a training exercise crashed in the Riverland in May killing three people, including the company's chief pilot.
An initial report by Australian Transport Safety Bureau found the Cessna Conquest hit the ground nose first soon after take off from the Renmark Airport.
Killed in the crash was chief pilot Martin Scott, 48, fellow pilot Paul Daw, 65, and Civil Aviation Safety Authority inspector Stephen Guerin, 56.
The ATSB is expected to hand down its full report within 12 months.
