Regional airport operating company, North Queensland Airports (NQA) believes there are excellent opportunities for fly in – fly out (FIFO) resource industry workers to travel through alternative airports to alleviate the congestion currently being experienced in Brisbane.
NQA Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Brown, said his company operates Mackay and Cairns Airports, both of which already service a strong component of FIFO passengers and have the capacity to expand to meet increased demand from this sector.
