Didn't realise thers a airport in Busselton, as it is so far out of town.

[Helitak_670]

It regularly has a Skywest F100 fly down there.

Busselton with a regular Skywest F100????

[Helitak_670]

Does Perth-Busselton-Yandi-Busselton-Perth every Tuesday and Wed/Thur

[Nick]

A lot of FIFO's live down that way now. Airport is facing opposition from the locals to expand the service for other mining companies. Also it is used for training International commercial pilots. Anyhow back on topic.
