This will be VERY interesting.
Narrabri has wanted to restore RPT services NBR-SYD since December 2013.
There has always been a segment of the market who preferred to drive over to Tamworth to get FF points, Lounge, baggage checked thru, cheaper fares etc.
If VARA are working on the route and fares plunge further, what's that going to do to the viability of the Narrabri route?
I am told that 3 airlines are courting the local council now (Jetgo, Pelican, Airlink maybe?).. we live in interesting times.
