Lucky Alice Springs? Not so sure if the locals feel that way.
ALICE Springs has been selected to be the first aircraft “boneyard” outside the US.
Functioning in the same way as Pinal Airpark in Arizona, it will cover an area of 110ha and will house 300 planes in the Northern Territory, taking planes being decommissioned from service, that have been stripped of all their parts like engines, electronics and wiring to be re-cycled.
It will also be a place where aircrafts as big as the A380 can be stored when they are not being used.
According to Alice Springs Airport general manager Katie Cooper the initiative is ‘ground-breaking’ for this part of the world, but I wonder how ground breaking the locals and environmentalists think it is.

Did you know that we at Transfercar have a really vast array of people using our relocation vehicles? Even though English speakers are our number one relocaters, we also have a large number of German speaking travellers stopping by as do our French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese visitors.
As far as age groups are concerned, we have young travellers in their 20s moving between universities and tourists of all ages as well as seasoned drivers looking for a bit of fun and with time to spare.
We’ve helped film crews get between locations and earthquake victims move out of town. We’ve also relocated sports teams, backpackers and more recently, people stranded at airports due to ash clouds grounding their flights.
What’s best about our service, is we often see not just travellers but locals getting the opportunity to take a luxury 2 – 6 berth campervan or motorhome which may not have previously been possible had they had to pay a full daily rate.
We love being in this business and hope you get a chance (if you haven’t already) to make use of our service as it really is a fantastic way to take a break away from the daily grind.

Hertz has recently developed a quiz that helps drivers determine what kind of driver they are and therefore what vehicle they should be renting.
The “Gas” Traveler is supposedly aggressive, exciting and adventurous while the “Brake” Traveler is said to be conservative and more of a planner.
What type of driver are you?

May 9 (Bloomberg) — Hertz Global Holdings Inc., the largest publicly traded rental-car company, offered to buy Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc. for $2.24 billion in cash and stock, topping a bid by Avis Budget Group Inc.
Hertz offered $72 a share, 24 percent more than Avis’s offer, the Park Ridge, New Jersey-based company said today in a statement. Dollar Thrifty rose $9.58, or 14 percent, to $79.27 at 4:01 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, the biggest jump since May 3, 2010, when Avis proposed making a counter bid to Hertz’s original offer.
