A new service to Latrobe Valley Airport (Traralgon, Victoria) from Canberra began on 5 September 2005. This service primarily catered for public servants travelling between the national capital and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) centre in Traralgon. It was suspended in May 2006 due to low load factors reportedly costing the airline over $200,000.

In August 2006, Sunshine Express Airlines and Brindabella Airlines announced that an agreement had been reached for Brindabella to take over the New South Wales coastal routes then operated by Sunshine Express. On 1 October, Brindabella commenced regular passenger transport operations to Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Brisbane, utilising the same equipment and staff previously provided by Sunshine Express.

In April 2008, the airline announced the introduction of a week-day direct air service between Tamworth and Brisbane. A weekend service was added shortly after. In May 2010 the airline announced that it would introduce a new Monday to Friday Brisbane-Moree-Brisbane service effective 5 July

On 28 May 2012, Brindabella Airlines announced it would discontinue it's daily Brisbane and Armidale flight, and it's Canberra to Albury service, making both flights charter services from 6 June of the same year, blaming both the Federal Government's Clean Energy Bill (better known as the carbon tax) and loss of the 'en-route rebate scheme.'

On 15 November 2012, the airline announced that it had been awarded by Transport for New South Wales, a five year license for the Sydney to Moree route and will begin operating the route on 30 March 2013 which will be serviced by an BAe Jetstream 41.
