Richmond. RAAF Base the 'preferred' option

Warren Bennett, from the Board of Airline Representatives, told ABC Radio, the RAAF Base, at Richmond, was its preferred option for a permanent second city airport simply because an airport located away from a large population centre would not viable. “In order for an airport to be viable, it has to have access to both domestic and international traffic and it has to have access to both inbound and outbound traffic. If you don't have both of that, then you are not going to have a viable airport,” he said.
