+ADL, CNS & MEL + 2 other cities
Wellcamp plans: direct to Cairns, Adelaide, Melbourne | Toowoomba Chronicle
"that Melbourne, Adelaide and Cairns would almost certainly be serviced directly from the Wellcamp airport by Qantas, and another couple of cities were likely as well.
Wellcamp and Qantas were well advanced in their talks"
wonder what aircraft? Wouldn't be a Q400 for those routes.

would most likely go to cobham on those routes. 717 would seem logical. not sure if they could fill a 738. And is the city of toowoomba really expecting 1.5 million to fly in annually within 12-18 months? There are only 13,000 flying in a year with skytrans and the new qlink route will only bring in ~40,000 pax PA

yes but you forget about all those that currently drive to BNE or OOL + those who think, it's currently all too hard & expensive.
There will always be some cheap seats on any services.
Maybe F70's or F100's might work better than 717's ?

The fog lifts half way down the runway at TWB.
Story goes that ticket purchases to Sydney ex YBWW have been Qantas's most successful route launch to date
Maybe the 400 is too small already

or maybe many people want it to look that way. Wagners alone are apparently spending over $200,000,000.00 of their own money.
What's a few $1000 more on tickets to be thrown around.
The test will be in a few months time, if VA decide to do the route or an alternative like to MEL maybe using an E-190. MEL is a bit too far in a Dash 8 (any Dash 8)

I recall doing a charter in a -300, granted the -400 is a bit quicker
Brissy - Thangool - Tamworth (refuel) - Melbourne - Brisbane. ONE LONG DAY in the Dash

Brisbane Basin Air Services
The great thing about Wellcamp that is being missed in this thread is how it complements air services in the Bris Basin area.
We now have the best distribution of airports of any city in Australia. Imagine how busy SYD airport would be if the citizens of that city were able to fly into SYD North (our Sunshine Coast), SYD South (our Gold Coast) and SYD West (now our Wellcamp) as well as SYD CBD (our Brisbane Airport).
Well done the Wagners!

CTAF 127.65. ERSA 13nov14 FAC B-1
At the moment it seems to be "uncharted".....!
Looking at their web page and their conditions of use (46 pages!!) and charges, they certainly don't want any form of GA ops... Min $200 !!
They also prescribe radio calls far in excess of the CASA requirements, which is not really appropriate sice the CTAF is shared by other aerodromes in the vicinity.

Triadic,
When you invest $200,000,000 in a private business, you call the shots. Light aircraft under 20 tonne should have been banned from Sydney years ago and the Wagners seem to be drawing the line from day one.
Why risk high capacity RPT and international freight connections with private aircraft? The risks in a CTAF environment far outweigh a few bob in extra income.

I note the media are spooking the line that this is the first public airport built in Oz since Tulla.
Did the airport at Hamilton Island just fall out of orbit?
