Airnorth adds more flights to Townsville schedule
After the successful launch of their Townsville flights in February 2012, Airnorth is adding an additional weekly service on the route every Wednesday. The new service will commence from 07 November 2012 and will supplement Airnorth’s current Monday and Friday schedule.
“The additional service is in response to the positive support we have received from our passengers since the launch of our Townsville route earlier this year” said Mr Michael Bridge, Airnorth’s Chief Executive Officer.
“This route has made it significantly easier for our passengers to visit their family and friends, in particular members of the Defence Force and resource industry workers. It has also opened up new holiday destinations for both NT and North QLD residents, including easy connections to South East Asia and beyond for our Townsville-based passengers,” he said.
“We’ve also received great support from our business passengers thanks to initiatives implemented by both regional Chamber of Commerce offices and Townsville Enterprise,” said Mr Bridge.
Internet airfares start from $196* for one-way flights between Townsville and Darwin. Bookings can be made at www.airnorth.com.au, with Airnorth Reservations on 1800 627 474 or through your local travel agent.
