Morning all,
Skywest has said that they are looking at comencing PER-KTA if people will use them in November 1 month after OzJet will begin operations.
In the pilbara news they said that Ozjet and them will bring the price down and bring more competition. Qantas is increasing to 7 services daily 4 Link and 3 Qantas.
Funny though, at the moment we have no competiton what so ever and by November there would be say 10 services daily 7 QF, 2 OZ, 1 XR. I guess if they can bring the price down to say $400-450 more people will fly. Hopefully we have a big price war and can get some good fares.
But personally unless both XR and OZ get a contract of sorts or decent support, one of those is going to have to give. Just hope this town supports these airlines otherwise its going to go back to a QF town. With another 1000 people expected to be living here by this time next year (dunno where they are going to live though!!) more FIFO workers which generally fly QF which does make it hard to get flights. They might do alright.
I'll hold off booking flights for December/Jan/Feb untill we find out than one or both of these guys start up!
