That still doesn’t solve the issue of the aeroplane doing BNE- PER as a domestic service and then needing to transfer terminals.
MEL- PER- LHR works because it’s how people are getting from MEL to LHR. Anecdotal evidence suggests 20-30 seats only are for domestic pax- 10- 15%. BNE- PER- JNB won’t work because that’s not really how BNE or MEL people get to Jo’burg. Depending on the day, the aeroplane for JNB may come from MEL or SYD or BNE as well so that further complicates the issue.
Of course the WA government and QF having built these fantastic facilities in T4 for international services, PAC don’t want to see them used at times of the day when they’re not otherwise being utilised? That makes a lot of sense doesn’t it.
So lots of naysayers saying to QF ‘suck it up’, no one putting much thought into how to utilise the existing facilities in a way that is win/ win for both airline and PAC. How typically Australian.
