Brindabella Airlines Gears Up for Armidale Launch

Posted 09/08/2011

Australian regional carrier and Qantas affiliate Brindabella Airlines is making final preparations ahead of next week’s launch of direct flights between Brisbane and Armidale.  The carrier is based at Canberra but also offers domestic links to important regional centres from Brisbane and Sydney.  It currently flies from Brisbane to Coffs Harbour, Moree and Tamworth, but from August 15 will introduce a weekday link to Armidale, the administrative centre of Northern Tablelands, New South Wales. 

“We are extremely pleased to be able to provide these services between Brisbane and Armidale and we hope the Armidale community will get behind it and support it. It has already been a great help that the council has been very supportive and a pleasure to deal with,” said Jeff Boyd, Chief Executive Officer, Brindabella Airlines.  “In the 21st century regional communities need access to first class services if they are to prosper, and whilst the service will initially be one flight per day during week days, we hope to expand that quickly to two flights per day and to weekends as the passenger numbers grow”.
