Archerfield Airport Corporation (AAC) is pushing ahead with exploring options for regular public transport operations.
In his Spring Newsletter, AAC General Manager Corrie Metz outlined the status of the project.
"AAC is currently in serious discussions with two RPT operators who envisage operating niche services from Archerfield with aircraft with a capacity of between 18 and 35 seats.
"Should either (or both) of these ventures progress beyond discussions and the operators provide a firm commitment to such an operation, AAC and the operator will jointly be required to conduct public consultation before services can commence.
"It is an exciting prospect and a further indication of how Archerfield is starting to blossom."
Archerfield recorded 10,644 movements for the month of August, of which 7472 were below 7000 kg and 3130 were helicopters. Only six movements above 7000 kg were recorded.
