From
February 2004, Virgin Blue is to increase capacity in and out of Canberra.
The new flights will take the number of daily Canberra flights on peak days
to 9 and represents a 27% increase in capacity for the Canberra market.
The enhanced schedule includes:
Canberra-Brisbane
· An increase from 2 direct daily flights to 3 direct flights per day with a new
evening departure from Brisbane back to Canberra.
· Fares from
A$99* one-way on the net (Mid-week Mini-Fare available
Tues/Weds).
Canberra-Gold Coast
·
The airline will increase the number of weekly
flights from 1 to 3, with the new flights taking off on Monday and Wednesday as well as the existing Saturday flight.
· Fares from
A$99* one-way on the net (Mid-Week Mini-Fare available
Tues/Weds).
Canberra-Melbourne
· Direct flights increase from 2 to 3 daily flights to Melbourne with a new
early morning flight from Canberra to Melbourne. The
new schedule offers more connections to Hobart, Perth, Launceston, Sunshine Coast and Adelaide.
· More flights on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Virgin Blue will operate 4
daily flights between Canberra & Melbourne to cater for increased demand
on these peak days.
The additional flights to Brisbane, Melbourne and the Gold Coast will mean
the airline will now be "over-nighting" two aircraft and two crews in Canberra for the first time, ensuring on-time morning departures
throughout the year. |
