All i'll say to that is, if they do, Qantas better offer their newest plane with exemplary service plus cheaper fares or it will fail spectacularly. The incoming A321XLR will do the job. QF would want to offer a better business class on this aircraft to compete against Singapore Airlines B78X. I do...

Usually an industry RDO the day after a long weekend

Emirates have announced their return to Adelaide and this will commenced from October 28 on the B777-200LR. See: https://www.emirates.com/media-centre/emirates-to-make-highly-anticipated-return-to-adelaide-in-october-2024/ Maybe once Qantas receives more A220's and their new A321XLR's, this will hop...

Theres rumour of Vietjet leaving by end of the year. Not confirmed

Not surprising. Plenty of other 1 stop options.

On a side note, VietJet's flights from / to Perth never seem take the most direct route over the Bight. They always detour inland over the Nullarbor. Does anyone know why?

Whilst not widely reported, it was part of the original scope for the grade separations project.

Typical politics at play and impeccable timing to cut the ribbon just before the 2026 state election.

Whilst the raw data may suggest that a direct service to the US might be viable, I wouldn't underestimate the flying public's preference for particular airlines and their associated loyalty programs. Personally, regardless of who offers a potential direct Adelaide - US service, if it doesn't align w...

Spot on. Grade separation only needed for northbound to MN Rd

With the recent sale of the former drive in, i think we've missed an opportunity to remove one of the contributing roads to this intersection and merging it further north. Doing ...

That doesnt seem right. The Tram Grade Sep program alone is a $400m 50:50 state/feds contribution. not that i dont want even more rail investment, but the numbers dont seem to align.

The Glenelg Tram Grade Separations project is an enabling project for T2D and therefore funded as part of T2D.

Morphett Rd grade seperation may also form part of the project whilst the tram line is closed

Singapore Airlines to upgrade aircraft used from A350-900 to B787-10 from October

I would love to see a national indigenous cultures centre in Australia and preferrably Adelaide, but struggle to comprehend how a centre in Adelaide would put us "on the map" more so than centres listed interstate in the excellent article that gnrc_louis posted on 24/4. Perhaps time for a ...

Great angle! Thanks Prodical

It's amazing that a certain round of footy can prompt someone to spend a few $$$'s on daggy bits of infrastructure.

Adelaide Airport chief outlines grand plan to fly direct to 37 major world cities South Australians will be flying high in coming years on news Adelaide Airport has “realistic” plans to have direct services to around 37 major cities.
