FIFO is just people going to work & people go to work by car , bus , train , & sometimes aircraft & helicopter or bicycle
Sure it is great that the resources industry is still going but FIFO pax is a meaningless number , the numbers that matter are RPT pax & RPT psk, and June said 380k down from 5000 k previous June
Sure it is great that pilots/maintainers etc etc still have a reasonable amount of work in the West, just don't get the Victorian giving you advices on contact tracing & hotel quarantine
I would think in WA right now maybe 400/500 international arrivals and 300/400 interstate per week , where does that take WA back to 1930s or 20s
The resource guys (especially BHP) are starting to mandate that if FIFO to a facility in state X you must reside in state X, so the end of interstate & international FIFO
, so that is a permanent hit to RPT which won't come back. Okay maybe only a very small % of pre-Covid loads, but it all adds up & much more impact in a smaller post Covid environment
