Qantas to Increase Capacity in Western Australia

Qantas is to increase capacity to the North West regional centres of Karratha, Paraburdoo and Port Hedland in the coming months, including the launch of a new Port Hedland-Melbourne route in September. The additional services will include:

- three Perth-Paraburdoo return morning services, operating on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday mornings, increasing the number of weekly services on the route to 24, from July; and

- one Karratha-Brisbane return service operating on Wednesdays, resulting in two return services on the route each week from September.

“Qantas has been operating Brisbane-Karratha services since 2008, and launched Melbourne-Karratha and Sydney-Karratha services in the last two months. We have also serviced Broome from Sydney and Melbourne since April 2004 and March 2003 respectively,” said Qantas Regional General Manager Western Australia, Mr Ian Gay. “We are very pleased to now add Port Hedland to the list of east-west routes that Qantas business and leisure customers can fly to direct from the eastern states, and appreciate the support of the Town of Port Hedland, which assisted us in ensuring this new service can commence as soon as possible.”

The all-inclusive price of A$249 is available from Qantas when departing Melbourne and Port Hedland.
