Why do you need to post that question in two different threads?

As for ZBL....is that a service under contract to the QLD government? If so I would assume there would be a ternder process already under way?

ZBL not a regulated air route. Surprised me, I thought it might've been. Twin-towns of around 6,500 - 7,000 people and seems like mining was/is the main industry.

Too close to Rocky and Gladstone I suspect.

ZBL is a mining/rural town similar to Emerald.

Most residents do business in Rocky (177 km) or Gladstone (142km) which equates to a 1.5 - 2hr drive.

After living in the area for some years, locals would rarely go to Brissie except for the Ecca (Royal Bris Show), Hospital/Specialist, Yearly shopping trip, Picking kids up at Boarding School ...

Unless there is a specific FIFO charter, I can't see the demand
