20.01.2022 I guess they need to increase the coffers somehow... get the most expensive routes going

17.01.2022 I can confidently say Cloncurry was the birthplace of Qantas... there is still a lot of work to be done with regional airfares, but that said, congratulations to Qantas for this impressive milestone and especially for making it through the past 12 months. Let’s not forget what the original plan was... connecting the bush with the capital cities and the people of the bush with each other, it feels like some of that history has been lost along the way.
15.01.2022 I got this from my contact at Qantas this afternoon... Good afternoon Hamish I’m pleased to share today’s announcement, outlining Qantas and Jetstar’s plans to increase domestic and regional flying for June and July.... QANTAS AND JETSTAR INCREASE DOMESTIC FLYING AS RESTRICTIONS EASE The additional services will see capacity increase from 5 per cent of pre-Coronavirus levels, to 15 per cent by the end of June. This equates to more than 300 more return flights per week. Additional flights will likely operate during July depending on travel demand and further relaxation of state borders, with the ability to increase domestic capacity by the end of July. A state by state breakdown of the Group’s domestic and regional schedule can be viewed here and our latest route map is attached. FLY WELL, FLY FLEXIBLE As part of the Group’s ‘Fly Well’ program, Qantas and Jetstar will have a range of measures in place from 12 June 2020 to ensure a safe environment at airports and onboard aircraft and to give customers extra peace of mind. This includes contactless check-in, enhanced cleaning, and masks and sanitising wipes provided to all customers. To provide customers with greater flexibility and confidence when they book, all Qantas and Jetstar domestic customers can change the date of their flight once, without paying a change fee. See more details in today’s media release. If further information is required or I can be of assistance please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards,

14.01.2022 JetStar_AU Qantas what’s going’s on here? Why was the lift not broken for the later flight??!! Care to explain? Thanks for the tag Jennifer Hetherington this sounds pretty crooked
13.01.2022 So where is the commitment to regional Australia they promised? What has been done to try and avoid this in Cloncurry? What was the actual point of a Federal Senate Enquiry?... What are our local, state and federal representatives doing about this and the continuing price gouging? How does the ACCC feel about a blatant monopoly? How is the comfy relationship the airlines have with A4ANZ? Cloncurry Shire Council Bob Katter Robbie Katter MP Senator Susan McDonald Can we have some answers please?

12.01.2022 About time... your welcome!!
11.01.2022 Some good news here!!
09.01.2022 This is a good watch... I believe Mr Costigan will help fight for fair airfares. #faresfair
09.01.2022 These stats would not exist if airfares were more affordable
08.01.2022 Hopefully this additional competition will result in fairer airfares out west. #faresfair
08.01.2022 Once again the west and regional Australia misses out again, as long as the capital cities are ok!!!
08.01.2022 Cameron Dick MP Robbie Katter MP Are you able to tell us what this is likely to look like for Regional Queensland? I have seen a lot of mentions of capital cities and coastal regions but nothing about the regions out west. The Virgin services between Cloncurry and Brisbane are a life line for health care, industry and tourism and are critical essential services. #faresfair #rebootthebush #rebootthecurry https://mobile.abc.net.au//coronavirus-queensland/12244152
06.01.2022 I got to have a quick chat with the PM this evening.
05.01.2022 Keeping the Air Fair..!!! Well that didn’t happen, they have been ripping off regional Australians for 20 years... #faresfair
05.01.2022 Qantas get the monopoly handed to them on a silver tray. Watch the air fares sky rocket. We need to give very serious thought again now to run a community charter. Non profit run by community for community.

05.01.2022 Qantas.... please read this post, virus or no virus, this is blatant price gouging. How can this be justified when you are selling seats on the coast for under $50??

01.01.2022 This little pearl came out of last night’s Budget. Fingers crossed we see some benefits. Regional Australians An extension of support for the regional aviation industry until March will help people in rural and remote areas stay connected and have access to essential services and supplies. An additional round of the Building Better Regions Fund will inject $100 million into local infrastructure in regional communities.
