This could possibily lead to QantasLink taking over the TSV-ISA-TSV route using Dash-8 / Q400 equipment.
Alliance has just recently doubled it's fleet based in Townsville so they are in a prime position to take over the mining charters.
Time will tell, but who has the fleet to operate to the smaller western regional ports in outback QLD? Skytrans maybe?
