Not overly surprising considering the up and down loads.
It does seem that the Queensland Government has pulled the plug / not renewed the AAIF commitment past 2025. A possible change in government would also mean it's unlikely that any new AAIF routes would be funded past 2025.
Looks like VA's slot will be up for tender from NS25 (end of March), which assuming QF would probably bid for a NW25/26 start.
