Western Australians are now able to fly straight into Newcastle to experience everything the Hunter region has to offer.
Newcastle Airport’s direct Perth to Newcastle route has launched, improving access to and from regional NSW.
The three-times weekly service, operated by a 150-seat QantasLink Airbus A319, will contribute to the delivery of extra aviation capacity while making travel easier and faster to the Hunter.
Newcastle Airport CEO Linc Horton said the route would inject $21.7 million into the regional economy each year and create 74 new local jobs.
