Any community would welcome a jet service, but it just wouldn't be viable.
Xstrata have downgraded their operations here in Mount Isa, and as such, aren't bringing anywhere near the number of people out from Townsville.
The twice a day Dash 8-400 service provided by QantasLink, and also a milk run from Mount Isa to Townsville on West Wing Aviation, so far appears to be more than adequate.
IF Mr Byrt get's this up and running, I would be placing a very short timeframe on the lifespan of the company.
