NEWCASTLE Airport is rapidly approaching the point where it will be incapable of absorbing additional commercial operations, the RAAF's incoming deputy chief has warned.
Air Commodore Geoff Brown, who is due to take over as Deputy Chief of Air Force from Air Vice-Marshal John Blackburn, warned at this week's Waypoint conference that commercial interests needed to temper the expectations for the facility.
The comments are another nail in the coffin of a briefly floated NSW proposal to develop Newcastle as a second Sydney airport.
And rightly so therefore. Dick you can look forward to a lot more holding over and around Williamtown in the future!!!
