Check In

The lack of check in counters and dep/arr slots at BNE has been an issue for over a year now. The question of BN-TMW was raised many times in Skytrans staff meetings and the answer was consistently that there wasn't enough room for extra services from smaller carriers.

There was even talk that BN airport wanted to move the Skytrans Western runs to depart from the GA to allow them to give the terminal space to some one with a bigger aircraft!

So I'm not surprised Jetgo are having the same problems. I have also heard that Rex encounter the same difficulty with planning operations from BNE.

Highwaytohell: don't confuse the company closing with issues that have been around long before Skytrans shutdown. Also Rex and Skytrans aircraft didn't need security screening as they fall under the 20T 'magic line'.
