Just Planes have reported that Virgin Blue service from Sydney to Fiji wont start until September 2005.

That’s garbage mate, I heard it on the news last night here that they will be flying this september from most of the eatern seaboard!

As for the “Sydney Snub”, it’s not really a snub as such, it’s very good politics. Everyone down here knows that Sydney is the most expencive airport to fly out of. Good business practice, introduce low fares to other places from the lesser a/p’s and you’ll reduce the taxes at Sydney whilest drive up the taxes at the others, thus you achieve a middle ground nation wide!
