QantasLink Adds Geraldton to Domestic Network

Posted 11/08/2011

Australian regional carrier QantasLink is to inaugurate flights between Perth and Geraldton this winter, expanding its network to 56 destinations.  The airline will offer a twice daily weekday flight and single weekend rotations using one of its Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 turboprops from November 21.  An estimated 91,000 O&D passengers travelled on the route in the past year on the services of Skywest Airlines, which offers more than 25 flights a week.

“This service will provide the Geraldton community with unprecedented access to a range of Australian and international destinations by linking them to Qantas’s extensive network,” said Narendra Kumar, Executive Manager, QantasLink.

The airline has also announced that it will introduce its Q400 on services between Exmouth and Perth twice a week on Monday and Wednesday.  This will complement existing B717 aircraft on the route which will operate on Friday and Sunday.

“We are looking forward to introducing our Q400 aircraft on these key Western Australia routes as part of Qantas’s significant investment in regional Australia.  This follows our successful deployment and utilisation of this aircraft type across several destinations within Australia and Papua New Guinea, added Narendra Kumar.
