Brindabella RPT Routes

Folks,
Note the announcement this morning in Canberra, of the cancellation of some of Brindabella's RPT routes.
They are clearly sheeting the blame home to increased costs attributable to the about to be imposed carbon tax/price.
A sad development.
Tootle pip!!

You miss the part about these aircraft being made available because of growing fifo and adhoc charters?

That is the line that Abbott tried to run with at the top of Question Time yesterday.

Albo then came back with the more accurate position as per Spyderpig's post.

Albanese then assisted the house to understand that what Brindabella had done was ditch Armidale and Albury for richer pickings, rather than being brought to the brink of financial ruin by the the typical $1.50 one way carbon tax fare rise much more expensive airlines like Virgin Australia had been quoting, and also referred to an email from Brindabella confirming this.
He then threw in a reference to REX, the much larger regional turbo-prop operator, as saying that it was expanding into new regional routes, and was highly optimistic as to the future of rural aviation. (Sic em Rex?)

Is it the world against them, or just the fact that these days with airport costs etc, there are simply not enough Bums on a 19 seater for any regional to be profitable. If they was money to be made, people would be making them.

Folks,
I watched the original announcement on Sky News, the arguments for what they are doing seemed entirely rational to me, and making a decision before a drip of money turns into a hemorrhage.
