Airnorth Sponsorship Guidelines
Airnorth has a strong commitment to supporting communities within our networks. This support
is provided through the Airnorth sponsorship program which is open to organisations with
activities and/or events that are based within these networks.
Sponsorship will be offered as free of charge (FOC) airline ticket/s. The value of each airline
ticket is based on the full economy fare (including GST, taxes and charges) for the particular
sector - with the exception of international flights, where the passenger may be required to pay
departure tax.
Please be aware that the 'conditions of travel' for sponsorship ticket/s may be different to those
on ticket/s purchased through normal retail avenues.
Sponsorship can not be provided in the form of cash.
Airnorth receives many requests from sporting teams, educational centres and other
organisations that may require travel for large numbers of passengers. Whilst applications for
sponsorship may be considered, Airnorth does also offer group discounts for 10 or more adult
passengers.
To find out more please email reservations@regionallink.com.au
Airnorth can also provide competitive rates for private charters and can tailor flights to your
requirements. Contact charter@regionallink.com.au
