AVIATION and motor racing identity Paul Stoddart's OzJet will start flying to and from Perth next month.
It will be the third Australian destination for the economy-priced business class airline which began flying Boeing 737 jets between Sydney and Melbourne late last year.
Mr Stoddart said OzJet was seeking regulatory approval for the new service which would fly in and out of Perth, once a day, from Sundays to Fridays.
We envisage flights arriving in Perth around 9.30 on each of those six nights, and then the eastern-bound service departing at 11.30 for an overnight flight," Mr Stoddart said.
OzJet's one-way fares between Perth and Melbourne would start at $499, with none higher than $800, he said.
Further aircraft will be added to the fleet over coming months as the airline expands to other capital cities.
Mr Stoddart also owns European Aviation.
He sold his Formula One Minardi team to energy drink company Red Bull last year.
