On the flipside, other than tourism the South Island of NZ has bugger all industry (unless you count sheep farming), and their GDP per capita is significantly below Australia's. Granted the scenery in that part of NZ is beautiful, but there's a finite number of tourists that can be accommodated for...

Can guarantee this won’t happen before we get China southern and Cathay back. It’s frustrating because those two are going to take a while to come back, and United are interested NOW, not in 5 years time, now. Bloody hell wish we didn’t have to wait on the Chinese all the time. Hardly a surprise. W...

Absolute missed opportunity to build a new school to help cope with demand in the area. A school would be better at the Islington rail yard site across the road if they ever move them on from there. It's far larger and has more room for ovals/grass fields and such. The ridiculous thing is so many s...

Oh please, block out the views? Get a grip Here's the view.. image_2024-04-17_194213507.png What would it block out? Part of the western side of Adelaide Oval? A bit of the plaza/festival centre? Some trees in the distance? What a great loss. Maybe we should level everything to the west along North ...

See your own post from 2019. https://sensational-adelaide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=183833#p183833 My post clearly says they overlooked Adelaide. Yes. You also said "Labor gov. were in talks with them". There's a difference between what I said, and what Vinny said. Just because the govern...

Yes, before the pandemic United were actually assessing Adelaide Oh. First I heard of this (not an airline aficionado by any stretch). Did a google search but couldn't find anything, got a link? Would be interesting to get an idea of what they are thinking as the airport were talking about flights ...

Airport statistics say there was around 45,000 direct and indirect movements to and from LAX before the pandemic. If United were to do thrice weekly that's 3 x 52 = 156 flights per annum, therefore 45,000 passengers ÷ 156 flights ≈ approx. 288 passengers per flight (filling the 280-seat capacity of...

I once suggested on here that the whole riverside precinct needed to be knocked down with the exception of parliament (old & new) and the railway/casino building, and started from scratch. Now that what was an underused & unmaintained eyesore for public space is being redeveloped into a sec...

Three times a week Adelaide to the other side of the planet? We've barely scratched the surface with direct flights to the Asian continent.

Today Singapore Airlines celebrates 40 years of flying to Adelaide. Their first flight was back on 31 March 1984 with a Boeing 747 Jumbo. Here's another 40 + years to SIA, a great partner to Adelaide Airport and SA. Happy Easter. Cheers SIA have been great to Adelaide. Not sure how, but wish the st...

Isn't the rail lease holder supposed to maintain the line in working condition? If so, it shouldn't be an issue to run a special service. That was how the deal was presented at the time, to reduce backlash from giving up the line, but it's well known that there has been no enforcement of that condi...

Rewind 15 years and the site where this building and Building 1 stand was public space. It seems to ask why is public space being given up to a developer to build an office tower. Could the tower not be built on the site of the Riverside Centre? Or between the Intercontinental and North Terrace. Th...
