Well now young Dennis...are you ever a happy boyo! And with good cause too. It's fantastic to see Virgin grab things by the short and curlies and get this show on the road. Their market intelleigence (and domestic seat connection results)would have clearly revealed the existing market out of Adelaide and Brisbane as well as potential opportunity: hence the twice weekly schedule out of here and 5 flights out of Brisbane. Being first back into the market is a great thing. Of course, now we will all sit and watch with interest how Garuda responds because 7 weekly flights out of markets they completely deserted 2 years ago has the potential to impact very heavily on sales out of Sydney and Melbourne. And then of course there is your nominated airline of the year: Jetfar..err, car..err bar: whatever! They may not sit on their el cheapo hands either. Don't be surprised if we are soon spolit for choice in little 'ol Adelaide: Woohoo! Cheers - kevin
