Default new fly in fly out routes from MCY & PPP !!!
just listening to

FORM THE NEWSROOM

http://www.couriermail.com.au/

& they said new fly in fly out routes have commenced from MCY & PPP.

Does anyone know where to & for which mining companies?

I know OOL have converted the old Tiger box terminal to be used for fly in, fly out, but not sure if they have any FIFO routes ex OOL yet.

How long before we have FIFO from ports in NZL ?

Apparently mines are full of kiwis & not just in the mines. Dozens of kiwi working girls do the circuit as well apparently according to recent new reports.

MD-82 was there for personal reasons not fifo.

Yes Skytrans started BNE-MCY-Clermont-MCY-BNE.

Now up to 5 of their dash 8's based in BNE now.
