The mines want to run their business too their own needs not those of a transport supplier. They have a lot more shift changes and issues than just the day they fly in and out.
After all this problem is faced by most city road users between 8 and 9 and then between 5 to 6 each day. Do you here people complaining about there office opening hours?
There is no easy solution to this problem whilst we are privatising aviation infrastructure. After all the airport wants to make money and isnt going to build a new runway for 1 hour a day. That wont keep the share holders happy!
Infrastructure that is critical should be the job of Governments, after all we got a new railway here to cover a 2 hour rush period, oh and a new freeway and it looks like we are getting a new port, but aviation has to be user pays.
If rail was a user pays system could you imagine the fares from Mandurah to Perth?
