1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, the Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: announced that the October six federal budget will include a

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: three month extension for the government's domestic aviation and regional

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: aviation support programs. Now, joining me in the studio to

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: talk more about this is the CEO of NT Airports,

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Tony Edmonstone.

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: Good morning, morning, Katie. How are you?

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, really well, thank you so much for joining us

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: this morning. Now, firstly, what do these support programs really

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: mean for the Northern Territories airline industry.

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so while back sort of the federal government denounced

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 3: what's referred to as sort of the regional Airport Support

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 3: program and the domestic regional to a large extent, he

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 3: sort of intra territory yep, domestic is to a large

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 3: extent interstate. Now, what these have enabled is obviously planes

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 3: to stay in the air and importantly they're really designed

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: around how we move freight in and around the territory

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: and how we move freight in and around Australia. So

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: what you've got is the Fed government effectively paying for

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: these flights to get underbally freight, particularly for medical associated

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: with COVID and now now the announcement means that'll continue

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: through to January one.

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: How important is that is being able to do that

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: with the fright at this point in time, given the

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: fact that those passenger numbers I'm assuming are quite low.

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll give you sort of one example or a couple,

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: you know, for the last sort of three months. We

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 3: know what's happened in sort of Victoria in New South Wales. Yeah,

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: those flights have continued to run, but very very low

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: occupancy sort of stuff within it. Because the Fed government

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: have paid for them, those flights continue to run. And importantly,

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 3: that's our source of medical supplies. So those flights weren't running,

33
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: you know, our medical supplies and other things just wouldn't

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: be up here.

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: But it doesn't make a real big difference by the

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: sounds of things when it comes to passenger numbers, does

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: it not.

38
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: A huge amount?

39
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: You know, this extension says it's going to keep going

40
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: for a few more months, which means we'll get those

41
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: flights continuing to run.

42
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: You know.

43
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: Aim what it does is it buys us time until

44
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: the borders open, and when the borders open, that's when

45
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: we expect the flights to sort of start to fill up.

46
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about those passenger numbers. How are things

47
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: tracking along right now?

48
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: I took you know, we run three airports, tenant Alis,

49
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: Springs and Darwin, and if I talk of passenger numbers

50
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: on a consolidator basis, during that sort of April May period,

51
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: we sort of dropped to about seventeen thousand passengers a month.

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: Sort of that's in in and out.

53
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: Now.

54
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: Typically at that time of year we're doing sort of

55
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty to three hundred thousand. See, sort

56
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: of down ninety five percent, and this sort of affects

57
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: all of tourism importantly. If I sort of do sort

58
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: of three months sort of July, you know, June, July, August,

59
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: it's gone sort of twenty in June, forty thousand in July,

60
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: sixty thousand in August. Right, So what we're seeing it's

61
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: a slow build, right, and that slow build will still continue.

62
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: We expect to sort of get to sort of eighty

63
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: or ninety during the month of September, and it's importantly

64
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: when Sydney opens on the ninth of October, and then

65
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: hopefully Melbourne sometime in December, and hopefully Western Australia sometime

66
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: in December that we'll get back to really strong tourist season.

67
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I think that's what everybody's sort of

68
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: looking to next, is when those borders open, like you

69
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: touched on a little bit later this month or in

70
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: a few days, I guess you'd say we will see

71
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: the borders open again to Sydney. Have we got many

72
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: flights booked in and ready to arrive for those dates?

73
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so quantus of announced daily flights from Sydney. Jetstar

74
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: have announced daily flights from Sydney, all but some of

75
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: the ford bookings on Jetstar looking a bit softy. So

76
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: to start, you know, it's a double daily type program.

77
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: We expect, you know a lot of Sydney siders will

78
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: take the opportunity to come and explore the territory, which.

79
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: Is wonderful and I think it'll be great to see

80
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: those Sydney siders come to the Northern territory. But I

81
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: suppose what we're all waiting for and we need to

82
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: make sure that we're doing it when it's safe. But

83
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: what we are all waiting for is that that border surety,

84
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: I guess you'd say, where all of Australia's borders reopen

85
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: and Aussie's can fly around and travel around freely again.

86
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I think that the sooner you know, Victoria

87
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: and the trends are really good down there, So the

88
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: sooner Victoria starts to reopen to the rest of Australia,

89
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: that'll make a huge difference. And then obviously we've got

90
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: Western Australia, you know that'll opening again. You know, if

91
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: I look forward to the next dry season and you know,

92
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: there's enough signals out there, I'm actually very very bullish

93
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: around where I suspect the next dry will be. International

94
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: borders in my opinion will stay closed, you know, for

95
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: some time, maybe to the end of next year. And

96
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: you know, Ossie tourists are going to come and enjoy

97
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: the territory. So I think we're in for really solid

98
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: dry next year.

99
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. And now look, talking about those flights that are

100
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: arriving from the likes of Sydney, I know that their

101
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: COVID numbers are now really quite low. But are there

102
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: extra measures in place and how important is it for

103
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: NTY airports really to have those safety protocols in place

104
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: when those arrivals do get here.

105
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and about sort of the passenger numbers that are

106
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: coming through. Now we're using our international terminals as screening points.

107
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: So we are fortunate that we've got sort of a

108
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: reasonably large international terminal that's not open. Yeah, you know,

109
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: we think we can cope pretty well when Sydney comes back,

110
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: and to a large extent, we think we can cope

111
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: pretty well when Melbourne comes back. And maintaining sort of

112
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: social distancing, screening of passengers, all those all those things

113
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: that you need to do. We are turning our attention

114
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: to you know, we know there's a large student population

115
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: that eventually has to make its way into Australia as

116
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: well as sort of repat Aussies. Yeah, we don't know

117
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: whether dare when or play a role in that or not,

118
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: but we are turning some attention to, hey, you know,

119
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: when all of this happens, how do we get our

120
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: logistics right and maintain you know, the safety for our passengers.

121
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: And are you guys ready if the if the federal

122
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: government and the territory government did announce that there will

123
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: be the repatriation of Aussies from the likes of Singapore,

124
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: or if there's students arriving from from overseas, you're obviously

125
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: ready and prepared for that.

126
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we've sort of looked and said we think,

127
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: you know, two to three flights a week is around

128
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: about a comfortable number for us. That sort of says

129
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: to you know, five hundred to seven hundred sort of

130
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: passengers routing through a gain from a territory perspective, you know,

131
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 3: we work closely with Health on quarantining and how that works,

132
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: with how it springs and how we can maintain it.

133
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: We're very, very comfortable at those sort of numbers. You know,

134
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: obviously the bigger airports through the rest of Australia take

135
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: you know, exponentially more people than.

136
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: That, Tony, How has it been four anti airports over

137
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: recent months given the fact that you know, the industry

138
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: is largely based obviously on on aviation and those flights

139
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: coming and going, and really, you know, it had come

140
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: to a standstill at one point there has it been?

141
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

142
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 3: Look, look, you know, I think at the worst was

143
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: sort of April May of this year. We were down

144
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: sort of ninety eight percent, you know in passenger movements

145
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: through the airport and we get sort of paid on

146
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 3: passenger movements, not aircraft landings. Yeah.

147
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, couple that, we know the rest of the territory

148
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: was doing.

149
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: It really tough as well at that time, and a

150
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 3: lot of our airport tenants were looking for a range

151
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: of relief which we passed on to them. You know,

152
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: our position was very clearly, you know, we're not going

153
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: to stand any of our staff down, and we didn't.

154
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: Everyone took a little bit of sort of reduced hours

155
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 3: through that process. We passed on all the benefits we

156
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: could to all of our custom as much as we could.

157
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: You know, we're here for the long haul. You know,

158
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: we've been in the territory for twenty or thirty years

159
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: since privatization of the airports, and weeks to be here

160
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: for another thirty, so you know, we've taken a really

161
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: long term view.

162
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Have the changes to job Keeper made much of a

163
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: difference for you guys.

164
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: It's a small difference.

165
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: But again, if you think about the test of job Keeper,

166
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: you've got to be down thirty percent.

167
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: You know, we're down ninety. You know we'll continue to

168
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: be eligible.

169
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, obviously the NT airports as well. Everybody thinks

170
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: about aviation and flights coming in and out when you

171
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: talk about NT airports, but the reality is, you guys

172
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: have diversified. You've got other other elements to the business.

173
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: How I guess how important is that diversification.

174
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, they look at property portfolio and you know today

175
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: we've probably got a two hundred and fifty million dollar

176
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: property portfolio that was really important through the downcycle. It

177
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: enables us, you know, although you know, the rentals were

178
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: much reduced, it enables us that little bit of cash

179
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: to continue to pay people, to can continue to keeper

180
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: people employed.

181
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Now, Tony, you took on this role as the CEO

182
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: sort of right at start of this pandemic. How tough

183
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: has it been for you the last few months and

184
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: what's it been like for you stepping into the role

185
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: and coming in at such a difficult time.

186
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, challenges, challenges are thrown up in every cycle

187
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: of business, so you know, this is not unusual. You know,

188
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: our very first step was to ensure for all of

189
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: our staff and all of our contractors and all of

190
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: our community partners that we weren't walking away, you know,

191
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: and you know, we're pretty proud of the fact that

192
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: we didn't stand anyone down. We kept our contracts going.

193
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: We continue to onner our customers. You know, the territory

194
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: is a small place and we've got to sort of

195
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: look after each other through that cycle.

196
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: Now, you spoke earlier about the number of passengers that

197
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: are coming through and the fact that you are feeling

198
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: quite buoyed about those passenger numbers picking up. I know

199
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: that the territory governments announced a number of different tourism

200
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: initiatives to try to get more people here today. In fact,

201
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: the NT summer campaign kicks off where they've got a

202
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: bit of you know, if people book a flight or

203
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: book an experience I guess in the Northern Territory from interstate,

204
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: they'll get a bit of a discount. Do things like

205
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: that help in terms of getting those passenger numbers up

206
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: and getting more people in through the airport.

207
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: Look, I think if you're sitting in South Australia today,

208
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: or you're sitting in Queensland today, you're pretty comfortable that

209
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: the borders to the territory are going to stay open.

210
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: So if you're going to book ahead and spend a

211
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: few thousand dollars on flights and accommodation and other experiences

212
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: of the territory, you're pretty comfortable that they'll stay open

213
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: and you'll.

214
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: Get to do it well.

215
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: Tony yeah, sorry.

216
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: Look, as you know that the critical one for me

217
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: is as the border is open with Sydney and Melbourne,

218
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: that they stay open. And that's the nervousness out there.

219
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's been the tough thing, isn't it. You know,

220
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: so many people I suppose they maybe want to book

221
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: a flight or they want to come to the territory,

222
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: but then they are a little bit worried about that

223
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: uncertainty and whether they will definitely be able to do

224
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: it or.

225
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: Not correct and the more whether it's the domestic tourism

226
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: voucher that sort of played out with the intra territory stuff,

227
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: you know, the most recent announcement to support into state travel.

228
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 3: You know, they all help and the more people we

229
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: can bring here the better, you know importantly.

230
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: You know, if we can.

231
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: Get a half decent wet season of tourism coming through,

232
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: people get to go home, they talk to their friends,

233
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: they talk to the relatives. Come the dry season next year,

234
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: you know we'll get more again.

235
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hope so well.

236
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: Nenti Airport CEO Tony Edmonston really appreciate your time this morning.

237
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for coming in. Thanks Caddy,
