Good luck to Skywest getting a jet at last.
However, if it's true the Argyle contract is only worth 7 mil. over 3 years, they are going to have to find some good contacts with better returns to offset the heavy discount they gave to win this one.
7 mil for 3 flights per week for 3 years works out to $15,000 per flight or about $2500 per hour! After paying for the fuel, that wouldn't leave much. What a bargain for Rio Tinto!!
It's a cut throat world this "Fly In - Fly Out" business!

Sounds like the Flight west way of stopping other companies getting the contracts for the FIFO by seriously undercutting the cost to stop the competition. But we all know where they ended up.
