Rex - Changes to AirLink/Axing 6 Ports

[David B.]

Change to Air Link Operations

Rex will axe the following routes with effect 21DEC:

• Bourke
• Cobar
• Coonamble
• Lightning Ridge
• Walgett
• Mudgee

Bathurst will see SF3s once again, which is one positive announcement in this overly negative announcement.

Shame to see Air Link ceasing RPT pax services. Have had the opportunity to fly the Beech 1900D DBO-SYD and I can certainly say it was a memorable experience, especially when coming in to land on 16R.

Mudgee at least has the luxury of being close to Dubbo, Orange and Bathurst, all of which have regular SF3 services (when serivces to the Hurst change to SF3 next month).
