Well, what can anyone say. Disappointing doesn't quite do it. When the head of airlines tells 4CC he's nervous about the upcoming launch, its not a winner.
Now the AFR reports an ASX listing is shelved and further private investment being sought. Why you would announce that at the same time you're asking people to buy tickets on your fledgling airline is perplexing.
Even the footage of the first passengers alighting in Gladstone shows staff chatting to themselves and virtually ignoring the very first pax to give them a go!
Unlikely Brisbane - Tamworth will launch on 19 January with any great success.
What a missed opportunity!
