Well - the Government has announced that a restart of AN/KD services within SA and into NW Ts has been approved with a $3.89M loan.
How far is that going to go, and what on earth apart from serving the communities that need the capacity is this going to do to resurrect our beloved dinosaur?
There is already talk of CRJs operation BWT and DPO under QF flight numbers.
Now - the AN flights restart - are the existing tickets honoured? Are they refundable? What about oncarriage agreements??
This is truly a half ar*ed attempt a political point scoring. The coal face has NONE of this information, and we are going to be swamped tomorrow. Nice one guys.
We all want our mates at KD and AN and the other regionals back in the air and soon - but this aint the way to do it. Let the industry know - PROPERLY!!!!!!!!!!
$3.89M is a mere fartin the bath and will raise many hopes and NONE of groundwork has been done. Empty aeroplanes belting about will make it zero million very quickly.
If anyone has any concrete (that stuff between Politicians ears) info - I not only would appreciate it but need it.
Best all
