Not unlike the Lufthansa terminals at Frankfurt airport. Who'da thunk that REX was on par with a major European international carrier?


Or QANTASlink at Sydney airport

maybe even sooner, but at least it was planned so it could be extended without too much disturbance to operations.


Yeah they just need to get the Cargo lads to move and possibly Qantas catering...yeah no disturbance there....

It's not too uncommon for buses to be used at airports. Before they got the buses it was like a 500m walk to get to the planes.

The reason was they measured the temperature in the covered walkway in Summer and at some stages it was 50-60 degrees..not good for the elderly/kids etc...

Also the walkways had a tendency to flood when it rained heavy (not many chances to see but it did)...

At least it can still claim the funniest travelator in the western world!

You must be talking about the travelator that goes for a whole 20m!! What a joke.


Isn't the travelator what they run up on Gladiators?
