2) Those traveling from the Gong to Brisbane or Melbourne have a greater chance of making it to the airport on time at Albion Park
3) Albion park avoids the F6 M1 and often hours of fun and games and fog etc
JetGo just needs to keep in mind 2 things
1) keep flights on time
2) keep fares reasonable
The rest will take care of itself
Hiw did that work out?
Well the Albion Park to Melbourne and Brisbane are still running, as are most of Jetgo's former routes, just with Link now in a similar size aircraft
There was nothing particularly wrong with their network as such and by all accounts, they were getting reasonable loads
I will concede however that I agree that Bonza 73M is likely too big for the start up routes they have published, I reckon the second round of route announcements will make more sense for 180 seats....
