We finally got a reply from VIRGIN in regards to the Airlines Situation in Narrabri. Please read as follows: Dear Mr Stewart Thank you for your note and for providing me with a copy of your letter to Minister Berejiklian regarding the need for a reliable and regular air service to Narrabri. Minister Kevin Humphries has also been in touch with us on this matter and a number of my senior executives recently met with him to understand the situation with respect to air links to Narrabri following the unfortunate collapse of both Brindabella and Vincent Aviation. Following on from that meeting, my commercial team is undertaking further analysis and holding discussions with the key mining companies and other stakeholders to secure a better understanding of the opportunity. The information you have provided below is very useful from a local community perspective and I will ensure it is factored into our considerations. I anticipate that we will be in a position to make a decision on the potential to include Narrabri in our network over the coming weeks. I would be happy to communicate details of that decision to you at that time. Thank you again for contacting me. Best regards, John Borghetti
