these expansion plans in the west, very interesting to see how it pans out, couldn't see dj having an aircraft parked overnight doing nothing, might as well be flying somewhere.
as well, skywest publicly stating they are looking at the kimberleys, this is very interesting too, currently airnorth have that whole bme-knx-drw corridor to themselves, everyone always says "how will airnorth go with some competition?". We may soon find out...
Broome - Darwin is one route that QF Link pulled out of after AN's collapse, now Airnorth is the only choice on this one, via KNX. the locals there jumped up and down when AN pulled out their 146's and replaced them with the Airnorth Bras services, a local operator with a shiny Fokker jet would give them a choice, whether it can be profitable though is another story. Gee i love rumours!
