Broome Runway Extension

Gday all,

As we speak work is underway to extend the runway at Broome from 2000m to 2500m. This is to allow QF jets to travel direct from Broome to the East Coast (SY and ML) rather than flying via Perth. As I understand it the work will take a couple more months to finish ( including closing YBRM for 12 days to all traffic!!!)

My question is when will these direct east coast services commence and what aircraft will they use (rumour 737-800??) Any idea on frequency would also be good?

cheers
