Are there any airliners from Aus in Alice? Or are they all stored at boneyards in Arizona/California?

World's largest aluminum deposit?

If Alice gets full should consider extending the runway at Yuendumu and Balgo.

At least somebody in the aviation industry is making money out of this debacle!

Making money is easy when you can get the government to cover your growth costs

CX have bitten the bullet and accepted the recovery will be longer than most are prepared for. Some CX aircraft could be going to Toowoomba Wellcamp.

ummmmm. Don’t think so, 2 a week operate though YBWW but they don't stay. I don’t think the climate would be suitable for storage anyway...
