An optimistic title to the thread.

It will be a Jetstar growth and with that a plethora of other opportunities for BB AJ and co to find other ways to circumvent EBA's and offshore Australian Flying. In their eyes we're inconveniently expensive.

Will VB step up to the plate and announce an Asian strategy or will they let Jetstar run out of the stadium with ball in hand? Time will tell.

Interestingly enough there is a mention of regional ports. Has the minister landed in Broome or Port Headland before? Woeful 2nd world facilities. BM has a runway that should be used for suspension tests on NRMA exams for new cars. It also has some of the most expensive landing fees of any regional airport in Oz (invested in facilities no doubt). International only in name. The other? PD, a 1960's terminal with capacity for 100 people for international (Good to see the billions of dollars in iron ore being invested there).

Albanese? First jump seats (fail) then security screening (?) now this (?).
