Archerfield Airport to the west of Brisbane and the new Wellcamp Airport to the far-far west of Brisbane have been reported in the media as competing for the next round of Regular Public Transport flights to use their respective airports to service the travelling public

The travelling public favour dual aisle jumbo-jets over their single aisle counterpart and so it is with airline companies who prefer 'bigger' airports where the word 'bigger' refers to the runway length available that allows them to operate larger aircraft

Three people on board a Cessna 172 escaped with only minor injuries after the aircraft they were in collided with trees adjacent to the landing strip during an attempted go-around

"The Cessna aircraft was landing onto a private airstrip in Narrikup - between Mount Barker and Albany - when a strong crosswind pushed the plane into trees"
