The Christmas Creek Airport is being built to allow workers to FIFO from there directly instead of FIFO Cloudbreak 60km away and wasting time catching buses over to Christmas Creek. There is also no ILS at Cloudbreak, which has meant diversions to the coast waiting wx, and the Christmas Creek aiport was meant to be getting ILS.
I worked at Christmas Creek for a while and there was alot of angst with wx causing delays getting home after 2 weeks away at work.
