None of their routes have daily operation. I see potential for quite a few of these routes (MCY-NTL/CNS/TSV for example). Others are complete head scratchers (MCY-CFS/PQQ/MQL). Even at twice a week, 186 seats is a lot to fill on each flight for relatively small untested markets.
I’m similarly optimistic about ABX. JetGo seemed to find a niche with their flights to BNE & OOL, and with the population of Albury & surrounds I think it could be a good destination for them.
Agreed. MEL-MQL might work as a low-cost alternative against QF & ZL. Prices aren’t cheap and there must be room there for a third operator. VA continued to fly a daily 737-700/800 to Mildura right up until COVID hit, rather than discontinuing the service when the E190’s were retired. MQL-MCY I’m very sceptical about. I think a service to Queensland could work, but BNE or OOL seem more obvious first choices.
