He called on the Queensland government to put forward new money to attract airline capacity back to the Sunshine State.Late last year, the NSW government matched $60 million from Sydney Airport Corporation for aviation incentives.
Before the pandemic hit in early 2020, there were 29 airlines that flew into Brisbane Airport from 34 international destinations. Now there are only 11 airlines flying to 10 destinations.“It’s a pretty big call for airlines to make that decision right now in the current environment because no-one knows what market or passenger demand will be,” Mr de Graff said.Airline incentives can include discounts on airport fees and charges as well as marketing in the airline’s home country.
