EP80. FIRST PASSENGER FLIGHT TO CHINA CARRYING 200 LOCAL BUSINESSES TO CREATE NEW EXPORT OPPORTUNITIES The first ever international Passenger flight from Toowoomba's new airport is carrying 200 local business people to China with the intention of creating new export opportunities for our local community. Many businesses traveling on this weeks tour met with carefully matched Chinese exporters building on the incredible opportunity the new airport and weekly freight flight has provided for them. Trade opportunities now available to exporters in the Toowoomba region are real and genuine, helped in no small way with the announcement that Cathay Pacific will begin new weekly cargo flights in November with a Boeing 747-800 direct to Hong Kong, opening a direct pathway straight to Asia. www.brendanhoman.com.au
