If VB has one flight each day into Canberra from Sydney, it shows that no one was using them to fly into Canberra either, and that is not the Government's fault. The fact is a 737-700 is too much aeroplane for a short flight, and VB could not make money between Canberra even with three full planes per day.

VB management does not like turboprops, which are what Qantas uses for most CBRSYD flights.

Even the VB CBRBNE flights are not well timed to give a Canberra person a good day's business in BNE
