Unfortunately, our Albany Mayor hasn't yet worked out the relationship between aircraft seating capacity and frequency. Wanting 100 seaters when 46 seaters can't be operated economically!! Really?
This Perth - Albany route is mostly business passengers anyway - (80%+), and there are limits to that growing. Albany isn't a booming mining or industrial city - it's primarily tourism. Tourists look at the 400 km drive and think.....'that's only a bit over 4 hrs, it takes around 2-2.5 hrs,(tot), by air, and I still need a car for local travel' For 2 travellers - car is by far and away the best option. Even the most discounted fares can't change that.
happy days,
