Indeed how long can Apng and Skytrans last? It certainly looks ominous.
Seems the local Mayor is a bit pissed off with them as well;

Roma makes bid for Qantas link
Chris Calcino (10th September 2014 6:00 AM)
QANTASLINK is eyeing western-Queensland mining centre Roma for a regular flight path from Wellcamp Airport.
Maranoa Regional Council has been pushing for air links between Toowoomba and Roma since Skytrans shelved flights in April.
Mayor Rob Loughnan said passenger numbers at Roma Airport in August had increased by 30 per cent since last year.
He said Qantas boss Alan Joyce had reassured council the company was "very interested in routes like ours".
"We were very disappointed when the Skytrans route fell over. It was probably a bit hasty, not to put too fine a point on it," he said.
"We're very hopeful of tapping into that market in the future.
"Qantas obviously has to do its business case but I'm confident we have a market for them."
Flight frequency and just how long the proposed route remains open would depend on the shelf-life of the mining industry in the state's west.
Cr Loughnan said provisions were in place to cater for an inevitable drop in numbers.
"There is no doubt that it will taper off, but the airport has been designed to manage that," he said.
"We haven't over-engineered the airport".
Never a good thing to upset and let down local communities. They have long memories!
