30. (1986) If it’s Boeing, you ain’t going! Fortunately for your upcoming trip from Gold Coast to Perth, a convenient non-Boeing alternative exists. It involves a nonstop flight to the connection airport, followed by a one-stop flight all the way to the other side of the country in Perth. The same type of aircraft will be used on both flights. Please identify the airline, the aircraft and the route including the intermediate stop between the connection city and Perth.
It has to be an F-28,... What about Ansett, running Gold Coast-Brisbane, then to Ayers Rock and Perth ?
The F.28 is correct!, as is the intermediate stop at Ayers Rock. However, Ansett is not the airline we're looking for and nothing in the printed schedule indicates a codeshare type operation. The connection was made at a major Australian airport. That said, we should be in tap-in territory now.
Could it be East-West, first Gold Coast-Sydney, then Sydney-Ayers Rock-Perth ?
