QantasLink expands NSW operations including non-stop Gladstone services ex SYD.
Qantas has just announced the launch of direct QantasLink flights between Sydney and Gladstone, effective from 04 Mar 2013.
The route will operate eight times a week, including twice daily each Mon, Thu and Fri, amounting to almost 1200 weekly seats.
QF Domestic ceo Lyell Strambi said the new route would help satisfy “growing corporate customer demand for direct services between Sydney and Gladstone,” with Sydney becoming the sixth destination directly connected to the Qld mining town alongside Brisbane, Mackay, Rockhampton, Townsville and Cairns.
QantasLink will utilise a new 74-seat Q400 to Gladstone, where a dedicated Qantas Regional Lounge was officially opened earlier this year.
Qantas has also just announced increased turboprop capacity to Dubbo, Port Macquarie, Wagga Wagga and Albury.
