No more flights to Mount Hotham

seems all flights to MHU have been canned.

Thought SYD/MHU/SYD on Sundays in ski season would have been reasonably high yield.

So what?

Maybe another operator might "fill the void"

QLink aren't the only turboprop company in town.

too late for any other operator for this ski season. a decent % of ski holidays at hotham would have been booked by now. those who were on Sydney/mhu flights have probably been booked on Sydney /ABX FLIGHTS NOW.

What a pity Ms J/QF did all they could to shut down QRA's extremely successful "Hotham Express", which included starting "Australian" B767 flights direct to Hotham owners Sapporo interests! ... but still no night time service to match demand now look what service they give

Xstrata would be most unimpressed

"MHU" is the 3 letter IATA designator. YHOT being the ICAO one, Phacamell.

heard today that someone is looking to replace QF. They'd better hurry.


Wonder if it's VA ? What aircraft would they use? Is an ATR too big ?
