The airline began operations in January 1930[2] with five Avro 618 Tens,[1] similar aircraft to Kingsford Smith's famous Southern Cross. However, the airline folded in 1931 after the crash of VH-UMF Southern Cloud in the Australian Alps between Sydney and Melbourne, and VH-UNA Southern Sun in Malaya.

On the airline's dissolution, Southern Moon was bought by Ulm, refitted for long-distance flight and reregistered as VH-UXX Faith in Australia. The other two aircraft were sold to Keith Virtue's New England Airways.
