The family story stood out among other similar people in the arrival hall at the airport on Monday.
The first flight from Queensland (from Brisbane) almost reached capacity after the state’s border restrictions were relaxed at 1:00 am on Monday. Some flights have been in service for the past five months, but in most cases only a handful of essential workers have been in operation.
The return of full flights and the resumption of additional routes such as Cairns and the Sunshine Coast are reassuring for New Castle Airport management after a year of turmoil.
“Basically, we’ve been running for months without income,” said Dr. Peter Cock, CEO of New Castle Airport. “So it’s great to have this big flow of people.”
Dr. Kok said he hopes that the travel ban will be a thing of the past and that the airport can begin to focus on its “ambitious goals.”
“You plan the worst and expect the best, but what COVID has shown is that you can never predict it completely,” he said.
“It’s important to take advantage of what’s happening right now and the increase in traffic, but in the worst case, you can handle more shutdowns.
“There are some very clear goals. I want to reopen Auckland and Singapore. This is a long play, but Hobart or Launceston is a short-term goal.”
