FlyPelican is to commence direct services between Newcastle and Dubbo, from Monday 18 July 2016, subject to regulatory approval.

The airline plans to operate double-daily services Monday to Friday and this service expands the network which includes Sydney, Canberra and Ballina.

 

“This is excellent news and fully demonstrates a commitment from a local airline to provide new routes and flights for the people of the Hunter. The new twice daily return service, ideal for the business traveller as it allows a full day in either Dubbo or Newcastle, will add nearly 20,000 additional seats into Newcastle Airport.

 

“Newcastle Airport management is always working on the development of new routes and to see FlyPelican come onboard with this new destination is encouraging,” said Dr Peter Cock, Newcastle Airport’s Chief Executive Officer.
