Re: Talks on Direct Flights Between Australia and Cambodia
Whilst the idea of having FRESH australian produce in PP is appealing I doubt that anybody would buy them at the resulting price for airfreighting them into Cambodia.Tootsfriend wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 2:17 pm
Think outside of the box, or in this case outside of the passenger cabin and below into the cargo hold. Airlines probably make more money from flying cargo than from passengers if you take into account what has to be supplied to passengers and air hostess and crews and direct flights would mean more fresh vegetables and other stuff available in PP
work is for people who cant find truffles

Some of the lettuces they sell in the supermarkets are grown and packed in Mexico and they dont get to Cambodia by boat. Fresh veg and fruit are required by the top restaurants and hotels and not all of the produce they need is grown in Cambodia. It's flown in. Even Superduper Market have Australian produce like bread, so its nothing new to have food stuffs flown in .truffledog wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 3:30 pmWhilst the idea of having FRESH australian produce in PP is appealing I doubt that anybody would buy them at the resulting price for airfreighting them into Cambodia.Tootsfriend wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 2:17 pm

The "Australian" bread I've bought from Super-duper is baked here by Australian owned bakeries. If there is lettuce from Mexico etc, it is possible it is flown into Thailand and trucked from there.
You don't launch a direct passenger flight on a route like this based on possible cargo earnings.

More viable "than ever". Well, there hasn't been much of an ever up to now.rogerrabbit wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 9:59 am With modern fuel efficient single aisle planes able to fly 7000-9000km, opening Australia-Cambodia route is more viable than ever. If you look visitor numbers from Australia before covid then 1-2 weekly direct flights from Australia is not that far fetched idea.
There have been many declarations of government support for new routes. Unfortunately the airlines need to make it pay and there is no shortage of slots at Cambodian airports. AFAIK many of the pre-Covid routes have not yet been reinstated, eg Japan, Qatar, Dubai, Paris, several cities in China.
