Re Michael: AYQ = Uluru
A few advantages for that:
1. Airport is small enough that passengers can pass through custom in a more relaxed but quick, efficient manner (think maybe better than those @ SYD) that transfer time can be as comparable as changing flights at Singapore, Hong Kong etc but they eventually can save lots of time passing customs.
2. Advantage for Virgin Blue to launch Central Australia services to beat Tiger and Qantas
3. Uluru is located in the middle of the Island, hence flight times to any other ports in the coast will be comparable with direct from Singapore without significant detour
4. Marketing purposes: How good that will be if passengers can fly to the symbol of Australia directly from Europe?
