Rising in the west

Skywest Airlines tripling its fleet in two years and now introducing A320s. Alliance Airlines buying eight more F-100s. Strategic Airlines introducing A320s in WA. Noise groups lobbying for curfews. Perth Airport playing catch up.

This is the face of air travel in Western Australia as the state’s government, councils, airports and airlines strive to keep pace with fly-in / fly-out flights for workers to support a resources boom that seems to know no bounds.
