The structure of the economy reflects significant natural resources, the Territory’s importance in national defence and the relatively large tourism and public sectors. The significance of the mining and tourism industries makes the Territory economy particularly reliant on exports and susceptible to developments in key export markets and the world economy generally.

  • For Personal Use Only
    29 AUGUST 2014 MEDIA RELEASE REX - AUSTRALIA’S MOST PROFITABLE PASSENGER AIRLINE GROUP FOR 3rd CONSECUTIVE YEAR At its full financial year (FY) results presentation yesterday, Regional Express Holdings Ltd (Rex) announced a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of $10.7 million for the year ended 30 June 2014. This represents a drop of about 45% from the prior year, but is slightly improved from the half year when it reported a PBT reduction of 59.8%. Commenting on the results, Rex Executive Chairman Mr Lim Kim Hai said, “The Australian economy continued to deteriorate in the period under review and resulted in 38,000 fewer Rex passengers, or a reduction of 3.4%.” He added that the year also saw record average fuel prices. “On top of that, we had the burden of increased government taxes in the form of the carbon tax and a significant increase in the fuel levy to fund the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. All of these taxes implemented by the previous Federal Government just add more nails in the coffin of the aviation industry,” Mr Lim said. "As foreshadowed in my earlier warnings to the Federal Government, aviation in Australia is in deep crisis with Qantas and Virgin Australia losing a combined $4.4 billion at pre-tax level for FY14. Regional aviation is even harder hit - we saw another two carriers collapse in the last nine months." "The environment is so toxic that incredible as it sounds, Rex is not only the most profitable passenger airline group for the third consecutive year, it has more accumulated PBT than Qantas or Virgin Australia over the last nine years." "This clearly demonstrates the prolonged and endemic crisis that is gripping Australian aviation, and I call on the Abbott government to urgently start implementing the concrete initiatives promised in the Coalition’s Policy for Aviation issued in August 2013 prior to the federal election one year ago.

  • East Kimberley Regional Airport
    East Kimberley Regional Airport Master Plan 2017 Prepared by The Airport Group for the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley July 2017 Adopted by the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley on 22 August 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document contains the 2017 Master Plan for the East Kimberley (Kununurra) Regional Airport (EKRA). It is intended to serve as a planning framework for the long-term aeronautical and non- aeronautical development of EKRA in response to forecasted traffic growth over a 20-year planning horizon. The objectives of this Master Plan are as follows: • Provide strategic directions over a minimum 20-year development framework while recognising that it is a living document; • Identify scope for diversification through new/expanded opportunity areas that could include the ability to accept larger aircraft, support the economic growth of Kununurra and the tourist, agriculture, resources sectors and defence capabilities; and • Guide general community, local businesses and development industry through certainty, reduced potential conflicts and meeting statutory requirements. East Kimberley Regional Airport (IATA: KNX; ICAO: YPKU) is located 3,200 km north east of Perth in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The airport occupies a site of 275 hectares, and is owned and operated by the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley (SWEK). The airport infrastructure at EKRA currently accommodates Code 3C aircraft operations. EKRA has 46 weekly scheduled regular passenger traffic (RPT) services and is serviced by numerous operators, including Virgin Australia, Airnorth, charter airlines and the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS). Passenger numbers peaked in 2012-13 to approximately 92,000, but has since declined due to the decrease in construction activities of the resources sector and Ord Irrigation Scheme.
