Jumped off a jet in Cairns the other day and I thought I was in Asia, in town and at the airport.

Thought to myself, why can’t the same thing be going on in the NT, particularly Darwin.

Remember when I was a teenager, Crocodile Dundee era when top end tourism was advertised heavily. Doesn’t seem to be much of it these days, not sure why - NT guvument has certainly dropped the ball on tourism.

Being a Darwin resident who travels monthly in and out of the place, I can only say that the flight availablies to get in and out are absolutely atrocious.

This decision by Qantas is no surprise and it’s probably compounded by Cobham’s crewing issues.
