QantasLink Moving From T2 to T3

This will relieve many a Saturday afternoon headache for the SACL TOC I imagine.

Was in T3 a few hours back and the departure boards were showing Qantaslink flights departing from gates 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D. I gather this is related to the live trail you mention, if so I would imagine passengers were coming from both T2 and T3.

My level of expertise in the terminal is limited to finding the food courts and TOC offices. Outside of that I really couldn't help you!

[Kent Broadhead]

Has anyone noticed what buses they're using for the terminal to stand transfer?

[Nigel C]

I think Carbridge may have the Q-Link contract?

[Rowan McKeever]

Are they still going to use gates 16 & 17 as well? Or will those be returned to B737 use? Perhaps B717 when they arrive? Assume parking bays 19 & 20 which nest in between T3 & T2 (between T3 gate 17 and T2 gate 49) will continue to be used for the Dash 8s with bussing ops.

Lots of options open to them I guess. Time will tell!

Thanks Nigel. I noticed the carbridge duo demonstrator over near the mound the other day, and it set me wondering.
