MCY is never going to be a secondary airport for BNE. This morning there was a crash on the gateway southbound near the Deagon Deviation at 0730am…drive from Sunny coast down was 1:55. Return drive at 1600, another crash northbound also near the Deagon Deviation= 2:10 drive home to the Sunny Coast. These delays/long drive times happen at least 3 times a week.
It’s approximately 100 km from MCY airport to the center of BNE and the regular commuters allow 2 hours for the drive.
