Great work Sounds Air
ReplyDeleteThanks for alerting me to the mistake in the timetable - Have fixed it
ReplyDeleteIt is a good start and there is room to up the schedule from 10 per week to double daily. Sounds Air could look at flying a new route in the mid day with the 6 hours it is parked up in CHC.
