GOVERNMENT TO LAND NEW FLIGHT SERVICE FOR FAR NORTH WEST


14 January 2019

Passengers will soon be able to book flights to see their
loved ones in Bourke, Cobar, Walgett or Lightning Ridge for the first time in
years, following the release of a multi-million dollar tender to secure a new
air services provider in the Far North West.

This new air service provider will revolutionise travel for
communities in the Far North West who have had become accustomed to having a
drive up to four hours to the nearest airport in Dubbo to fly on to Sydney,
Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle and Canberra.

Flights could be operating as soon as March or April 2019.
