Virgin Australia announced that it will utilise its brand new ATR aircraft on new regional services between Brisbane, Gladstone and Port Macquarie.
To commence October 2011, Virgin Australia under its regional alliance with Skywest, said it will also increase the number of services between Canberra and Sydney up to 60 per week.
The carrier’s group executive of alliances Merren McArthur said the new routes to Gladstone and Port Macquarie were part of the airlines commitment to its regional network.
“Gladstone is a booming city with a thriving economy that supports the resources, tourism and primary production sectors,” Ms McArthur explained.
“We have introduced a schedule to suit both the corporate and leisure traveller in this very important market.”
The new routes are still awaiting regulatory approval, but the airline is confident that this will be forthcoming very soon.
