Mel is doing better than Adelaide. We've finally been deleted from the QF international map.
I could accept an argument that eventually as cities get smaller they are going to have less direct connectedness. The only problem with that is that SQ, CX, MH can make direct international flights to this backwater but QF can not.
Granted these carriers have an advantage that they only have one airport to seriously consider in their home countries.
I am not sure that embracing the Asian Century and giving up to Asian competitors are quite the same thing.
Perhaps QF could pioneer the 1 airport model for an airline.
