The idea is as follows. Several hundred members will pay a $1000 joining fee and a $2550 monthly fee for effectively unlimited flights between Sydney (Bankstown Airport), Melbourne (Essendon Airport) and Canberra on an eight-seater King Air 350 turboprop. The company, Airly, will offer an initial 54 flights a week between those centres, with plans to expand to Adelaide and Brisbane at a later date.

Gee they are getting good coverage in the press! Good luck to them, although I suggest they may want to have a look at the aircraft of choice. Keep talking about saving time, yet using a slower aircraft into airports that are not exactly served by good transport links.

sounds rather strange

an eight seater with longer flight times :confused: who'd want to pay $2550 monthly fee for that
