It would be interesting to see what a MEL-KGG-ADL-PLO-ADL-KGC-MEL or similar service could achieve for both Kangaroo Island and Port Lincoln tourism. The South Australian government has been pushing both Kangaroo Island and Port Lincoln as tourism destinations, but at the moment connections from interstate aren't very convenient.
I don't think such a route is likely, but it sure would be nice to see. Are both KGC and PLO capable of taking ATR-72's? I know Virgin wanted E170's to Port Lincoln a while ago but PLO couldn't handle 'em...

ATR
Qantaslink fly Dash 8-400s to Port Lincoln, so can't see why an ATR 72 can't land there.

Arthur, DJ will undoubtedly use the ATRs on SYD-CBR runs when they get to SYD. Other routes to/from CBR, I don't know.
I'm hoping they will reinstate NTL-OOL-NTL as an ATR route. The ATR could go BNE-NTL-OOL-NTL-BNE.

I think you will find that long distance routes such as BNE-CNS and BNE-NTL wont happen with the first 4 aircraft as they will most likely operate point to point flights with frequency out of BNE.Have a look at the major QFlink routes out of Brissie and that is most likely the routes ?

I doubt PLO ex ADL will happen, as it is one of the only routes out of ADL to operate profitably and will have a high cost base if the operation is minimal (ie rotation for maintenance).
It will be interesting to see their route choice ex SYD. I saw DJ operate the E190 to AY the other day. I assume however that PMQ and AY will become ATR routes, but expansion to include DBO and OAG as well. I think REX currently underserve OAG and maybe take it for granted.

Virgin Australia's first ATRs are now in flight testing.
