VIRGIN
Sunshine Coast Daily - Thursday
8/7/2004
Virgin announced it was BOOSTING the number of weekly flights by 7 / week.
Thats TWO a day now.
Sunshine Coast
Daily - Monday 26/7/2004
As from Friday 30/7/04 they'll introduce an EXTRA Melbourne flight 3 days
a week and commencing September 4th. they will have 2 every day just to
Melbourne.
Thats 3 flights a day right over our heads - GREAT!!
They've TREBBLED
our NOISE in less than 3 Months
We were far better off with ANSET (And they were SAFER) !
EAST- WEST- AGAIN?
Sunshine Coast Daily Thursday 14/7/2004
Sunshine Coast
MP Alex Somlyay (Member for Fairfax) suggested Converting Worthless Caneland
into a new East-West Runway and taking the Motorway underground as a solution
to the everlasting Airport Problem
Geez - We've
been saying this for the Past 30 Years!
But Maroochy
Mayor (Joe Natoli) disagrees.
He is quoted as saying "An
eastern runway would take flights right over Marcoola and residents have
told us in no uncertain terms what they think if that idea"
Obviously it
IS UNCERTAIN because this is
the EXACT OPPOSITE to what WE
have been saying.
Perhaps it's
the mark of a Good Politician to convince us that BLACK is WHITE?
JetStar
Sunshine Coast Daily - Friday 9/7/2004
SetStar (Quantas)
won't be out-done by Virgin
21/7/2004 -
They've now swapped
their 125-seat Boeing 717-200
for a 735 tonne Airbus A320-200
But the present
North-South Runway is NOTstrong
enough to take this EXTRA Load.
So the Good Ol' Maroochy Council plans on yet another $4,000,000-00 Runway
Upgrade.
Gee - THAT makes
sence - MORE money WASTED on this Land Locked RWY18-36?
Back to Top
2004 Development
Maroochy Mayor (Joe Natoli) is sceptical
of any East-West Runway proposal as he thinks the existing RWY18-36 is
only running at 50% capacity at the moment.
He is AGAIN urging Council to addopt
a Short Term (Short-Sighted) Approach of Up-grading
the Existing 18-36 for $4million dollars instead of building the INEVITABLE
East-West runway for $20million.
And NOW the Motorway would have
to be moved as well, because Council has SACRIFICED the Land to
the west which it had previously set aside 20 years ago for the Future
E-W RWY to allow for a CHEAPER Sunshine Motorway Construction?
SMART eh?
So HISTORY
Repeats.
