Will moving refugee processing offshore make it harder to get to Christmas Is ?

Dear B-A,

With the Federal Government now moving refugee processing out of Australia, it will be interesting to see what happens to the air service between the mainland and C.I. When the detention centre staff are moved to Manus Island, Malaysia, Clipperton Island or whatever remote hole the Government decides to dump them in, there will be far less demand. I can see the present 4 days per week being cut back to 1.

I imagine the C.I. economy will cop a pasting from the decision as well.

Cheers,

    The flight from KL stopped in Feb/Mar this year with no plan to currently reinstate it unfortunately.

    Dave,

    At the moment, Virgin fly to C.I. 4 days per week. There is also one flight a week ex Kuala Lumpur.

    I think it used to be 2 a week. But I read that these days it is very hard to get on a flight or get a hotel, car etc so it might improve?
