Why are they still flying to Perth then?
It’s most likely because of the testing requirements for crew on arrival, something WA doesn’t do....
(which is a good thing by the way).
You obviously haven’t worked for EK long enough to know that crew requirements won’t be part of EK’s decision making.
The quota of arrivals into WA must still be financially viable for EK, nothing more, nothing less. I can guarantee if a subsidy is offered to EK to continue the east coast services they will be continued.
EK making decisions based on crew requirements, thanks, I haven’t had a good laugh like that for a long time!
