Massive Injection of Seats to Region with New Qantas Flights from Coffs to Melbourne
Coffs Harbour Airport today welcomed the first direct Qantas service from Melbourne which is part of a major capacity boost for the region just in time for the Easter holidays.
The daily service from Melbourne to Coffs Harbour is operated by a 110 seat Boeing 717 jet and will provide 80,000 seats between the two destinations each year.
Qantas has also boosted capacity on its Sydney-Coffs Harbour route , upgrading at least one service a day to the larger Boeing 717 jet during the April school holidays.
Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Denise Knight said the new services provided enormous economic possibilities for the region.
