"INTERNATIONAL" Status for YPPD - AGAIN..??

Heard on 6PR Radio this morning - a 'push' by the mining industry to reclassify YPPD as an 'International' Airport' to service the mining industry with international flights directly from....(?) (Insert 'any' dep pt. here...)

The nearest 'other' International airports being Perth & /or Darwin, it was reported....

(Yeah...I know ERSA lists 'Port Hedland International Airport' as the name/address)

However, would this be a 'push' to have the ATC / TWR Services reinstated??

Staffing numbers / issues?

OVAH....
