Mr Crook argued using Kalgoorlie would save fuel, as flights from the Eastern States usually flew “within striking distance” of Kalgoorlie-Boulder . “If they had to deviate to an alternative airport like Kalgoorlie, they’d be doing it on the way,” he said.
I guess I can't blame GT for this one, but Kalgoorlie saves fuel how, again?
