They flew to Newcastle and Darwin for around 10 months before they pulled the axe. Hardly "cancelled a route before starting flying the route"
Canx /pulled off its symantics really.They have done all of the above and delivered very little of what they promise on other routes for any period.
Ps not sure but ADL PER has gone as well.
ADL MEL started with great fanfare and a promise of 6 flights each way ,never delivered but sold .
They are almost Branson- esque in their crowing about what they are going to do and what they have achieved but go very quiet and sneak out the back door hoping no-one will notice or hold them to account on things the subsequently dont deliver
Punters booking well in advance when travelling for a time specific event (and that can be within a day of what you want) do so at their own peril.
Also on the ASP issue the reason for the delay was they had the hide to expect a competitor to do their ground handling and make it easy for them to enter a market..they thought they were back in SIN where the Govt owns everything so it would just get done.
You may gather I'm not a fan either (although I did give when a chance but never again)
