Well AirNorth have given/are giving the 402s the flick and many ports dropped Elcho Is, Croker Is, Goulbourn Is, with Snake bay and Garden point to follow, as well as everything out of Katherine. Can't be worth the aggrivation any more! Also hear that Hardy are in deep ****e with CASA as they keep running their Metro off the runway at Darwin and elsewhere! Looks like Darwin is becoming a game of last man standing. As the years go by the number of GA operators seems to dwindle. Can't imagine any new AOCs being issued up this way.
