(1) and (2) No tenders were received.
(3) Airlines have been advised that the Minister is prepared to issue further licences to operate into Geraldton until 31 December 2008. No minimum seat capacity will be required, however, competitive scheduling and licence conditions will apply. In the interim, I have requested the Department for Planning and Infrastructure to undertake a review of all intrastate air services, with completion expected by mid 2008.
