Certain rural/lifeline routes should be run by the government at taxpayers subsidy to allow the people who live, work and farm in these communities the availability of air links. It’s not just a luxury, try rushing an injured farmer or premature baby to hospital on the mainland by ferry to give an example of why these links are vital.
