I wouldn't be surprised considering most locals would do their business/major Hospital in Brissie.

Other than business trips I can't see the demand.

I lived CQ for a while and never heard anyone saying that they had to go to Sydney. It was always Brissie.

I'd say most of the FIFO workers are ex BNE, or other QLD ports. Frequent Flyer status/points/lounges are a big deal for a lot of these guys and girls, especially when their commute takes them far and wide.

Hopefully there is a niche market there for them, but they didn't have a huge lead time from opening sales to the first flight. Quite a few people would have already made travel plans by then.
