Airnorth, Northern Australia’s premier airline, announced today it will commence non-stop Jet services between Townsville and Darwin from 17 February, 2012.
Operating every Monday and Friday, this new route opens up the Top End and beyond for residents of Townsville and its surrounding regions.
Airnorth CEO, Simone Saunders commented, “This new route further expands Airnorth’s Queensland services in addition to our existing, twice weekly flights to the Gold Coast from Darwin via Mt Isa, operating since 2009.”
Offering more options for business travellers, Airnorth’s new schedule will provide easy and convenient flight connections to Darwin from other North Queensland business centres including Mackay, Rockhampton and Gladstone.
“With population and workforce demand increasing across this area of North Queensland, we are also providing timely and direct services for the first time for key market segments including Australian Defence Force, Marine, Construction, Mining and Resources, Education personnel and of course tourism,” Ms Saunders said.
“We are opening up more holiday options for North Queenslanders to visit Kakadu and Arnhem Land in the NT, the Kimberley and Pilbara regions in the west and Timor-Leste, our nearest neighbour in the north,” Ms Saunders said.
“Airnorth is very pleased to welcome Qantas as a code share partner on these services and this will provide greater connectivity and booking flexibility for all our passengers,” Ms Saunders said.
Additionally this new schedule will provide convenient, one-stop flight connections from Townsville via Darwin to other Asian destinations including Bali, Singapore, Manila and Ho Chi Min City with shorter journey times than currently available.
Airnorth passengers will also be able to earn and redeem Qantas frequent flyer points on their Darwin flights.
Internet fares are on sale now at www.airnorth.com.au and start from $230* per person one-way, Townsville to Darwin. Bookings can be made by contacting Airnorth’s friendly reservations team on 1800 627 474, through your local travel agent or with Qantas who will code share on Airnorth’s new service.
