Qantas has confirmed they will be running regular services between the two cities in time for the ski season.
Albury City Mayor Kevin Mack has welcomed the announcement, particularly for tourist operators who missed out on the season last year.
“We’re very excited to be welcoming this new service from Qantas at a time when our tourism businesses are recovering from the effects of COVID-19, he says. Having this new direct link into the important Queensland market will put smiles on lots of faces.
He said it will not only be good for the Queensland snow bunnies, but will be great for north east and border residents who want to plan a warmer winter holiday.

NRL Trial Game for Albury
In a major coup for local rugby league fans, the Melbourne Storm and Newcastle Knights will play their one and only trial match at Albury Sports Ground next weekend.
After the Newcastle Knights deemed the travel risk too high under the current COVID environment to travel to Melbourne, Albury will become the beneficiary of the reschedule.
Storm CEO Justin Rodski says while it’s disappointing for their members and fans in Melbourne, it’s an opportunity to say thanks to the Albury community.
“It’s important that our players get the chance to prepare as best they can for the season ahead which is why we will travel to Albury for the trial,” Justin explained on melbournestorm.com.au
