When the task was originally set we didn’t realise how difficult it would be but like all pioneering ventures it would not have happened if we hadn’t taken the bit between our teeth and did our risk analyses and planned for this day.

Congratulations to Jonathon and the whole team over the years on that shared vision.

am also remembering our late companion Rod Walker and his tireless efforts with this event as well.

Lets move forward with new challenges and convert the results now into reality as additional support for the mantle of care for our incredible outback.

Jetgo receives high capacity AOC, first RPT flights to start November 10

Saw Watson says: Wow, good on you Jetgo! It seems obvious to bypass Brisbane and head straight to the mines out west, but I guess no airline has tried pursuing a route like that before.

It will be interesting to see how these Jetgo services from Sydney to Roma go up against Qantas flying from Sydney to Toowoomba several times a week.

As Wellcamp nears completion, Wagner mulling another airport project

Brad Harrison says: John Wagner epitomises all that is great with aviation in this country.

His “can-do” attitude has allowed him to build an international airport

Maybe the federal government should get John to build Sydney’s second airport.

capable of taking the largest aircraft and almost 1.

5 million people pa for a fifth of a billion dollars.

Maybe the federal government should get John to build Sydney’s second airport and save $15-20 billion.

C-27J Spartan to be based at Amberley

Peter says: Seems that Amberley is going to become very full with this decision.

With 12 E/A-18G Growlers, possibly 2 more C-17s and 2-3 more KC-30As on the way and only 1 main runway, as the locals aren’t real happy with prolonged use of the shorter cross runway, and where are the covered parking spots for the above PLUS 10 Spartans? Meantime, Richmond continues to not attract new investment.

There’s plenty of airlift already established at Amberley to support the army, so if the ADF doesn’t want to invest funds for Richmond, then Townsville (which previously had a permanent Caribou flight established there to support Army), or Darwin (again, close to Army) may prove better options without crowding out Amberley.

Tigerair Singapore drops Perth as part of network review

Adam says: Jetstar is primed to gain a lot of Tiger traffic, the FIFO brigade is huge on these low-cost flights going to the BKKs, MNLs, HKTs, CRKs etc and for a lot of them…Scoot is timed way too early for them to come in from their flights from the mines and make the connections, the 9.

50pm departure from TR was perfect for them but they will no doubt just roll onto Jetstar.

For Tiger, the writing was on the wall once Scoot entered the PER-SIN market…bigger aircraft, TR, TZ and SQ all owned by Singapore Inc…is it any wonder consolidation was bound to happen?
