VIRGIN BLUE ANNOUNCES NEW DIRECT LAUNCESTON - BRISBANE FLIGHT
Friday 12 September 2008: Virgin Blue Airlines has announced it will launch a brand new seasonal service between Brisbane and Launceston to provide direct access between the two destinations over the popular summer months.
It is the first time in the airline’s eight year history that it will offer a convenient direct flight to Brisbane to complement existing direct flights from Launceston to Melbourne and Sydney.
Virgin Blue has committed to operate a daily flight from 15 December 2008, just in time for school holidays and the Christmas festive season. The carrier will use one of its brand new EMBRAER E-Jets to operate the route following the scheduled arrival of more aircraft direct from Brazil in November. At this stage the route is on sale for flights up until 4 April 2009.
Fares will start from $139* one-way on the internet. Virgin Blue currently operates four daily direct flights from Launceston to Melbourne and a daily direct flight between Launceston and Sydney with connecting flights to other destinations across Australia.
