Yep, it is good news for TSV. This link should work and should grow in the future.

Its been a while since any new route (not served by an encumbant) has been started up in Australia its taken Air North to go out on a limb by trying a new route and good on them for giving it a go. This is the first RPT link between the 2 cities, Virgin has just started BNE-LST but this route already has competitor JQ on it.

Unless I am mistaken, National Jet had a 3 or 4 times weekly Dash 8-300 service DRW-MCV-ISA-TSV in the mid-late 90s. I cannot find anything on the internet mentioning these flights, but I remember they were National Jet branded and there was radio ads mentioning that the crew were locally based and wore Akubra hats.
