Аэропорт Алис-Спрингс (Австралия)

WELL EQUIPPED AIRPORT TO SERVE THIS TOURIST-FOCUSED DESTINATION Alice Springs is a starting point for some memorable "outback adventures" and the airport is modern, efficient and easy to navigate. There isn't any of the flight congestion you can experience at large city airports and the departure gate is a pleasant stroll out of the departure hall and onto the tarmac, then up the stairs to the plane. Being a small airport, baggage arrives quickly and you are on your way! Food and services available at the airport. Taxi and bus connections to town.

It's a very small airport with very few passengers, it's really pleasant to be able to discuss with the staff and get inside without any hurry. Sadly it's poorly connected with the city. The bus station is an hour away from the airport. Other than the bus, the only viable option is the overpriced shuttle (17$ for a 15 minutes ride). The airport is located 3 hours from town, so it is really far from everything.

"ALICE SPRINGS AIRPORT"... Singapore Airlines have flown in 4 A380's to Alice, $350,000 of one way aviation fuel, (aircraft are 3 to 5 years old), along with Boing 737's, because of a 95% drop in passenger numbers, caused by the Virus 19 pandemic which has now taken 250,000 lives, world wide... British Airways recently flew several of their A380's fleet to a French Graveyard Airfield, with one of the A380's causing damage to a paved taxiway... Not interested in A380's, well their is a 'pucker tucker' Alice Springs Kangaroo Sanctuary nearby, which you can support on Facebook (c)... All A380's flights need to be at least 95% full to make viable profits to pay for long bank loans, exorbitant service costs, etc.. After each flight, even on new aircraft, A380's have to be thoroughly inspected... Several engine failures have occurred through the world A380's fleet, etc. Should such a 'giant passenger plane' be flying.? Stated as being more fuel efficient than other aircraft, per air mile, per passenger, 'thousands' of gallons of fuel are consumed per flight trip, data which is not stated on your 'flight ticket'... Combined Engine Heat Vapour Exhaust can be seen to be a high percentage contributer to today's Global Warming... Jet Engines Revolve at between 12,000 + 25,000 rpm, exhausting at 900%C, with a poor effiency return at low revs, (thus gas turbines are not used on cars), can be designed as to not show high altitude contrails... 900%C x number of engines, flight time x aircraft in flight during 24 hour day... Videos of Jet Engine Heat Vapours, landing + taking off aircraft heat exhaust, can easily be viewed @ U TUBE (c)... "ALICE SPRINGS AIRPORT"... A Great Place for KANGAROOS....

Exciting stop over at the airport

Very quick through security. Check in was a breeze. Great Cafe with comfortable seating. Flat white coffee with extra shot was just what the doctor ordered.
