So now there's no seats and the ticketing system represents no available seats as "sold out". Sort of similar to the likely charter flight we saw before.
Interesting point. If this is true, then “sold out” is incorrect and the ticketing system should say it’s cancelled.

I'm glad the newspaper article pointed out the reasons that the "No more debt" is kind of a silly argument. Its income producing and is very likely to appreciate at least in line with inflation. Much worse ways for the region to spend money. And of course its much better to grow amicably then have to expropriate.
Definitely agreed. I was disappointed by Sean Strickland — he usually seems pretty sensible. But the idea that we shouldn’t buy potentially strategic land for a good price when it is available just because we have a policy of only doing airport improvements when they are actually needed is absurd. If the discussion were about developing the land for airport purposes by extending the passenger terminal or building a new runway or something, then he would be right and probably supported by the rest of Council. You can’t just buy land whenever you want to. By the time we want the land for the airport, it could have houses on it and be infeasible to purchase.
