Coffs Harbour Airport today welcomed the second of two new flight routes operated by Qantas into the region with its Brisbane service.

Commencing just in time for the Labour Day (QLD) public holiday, this service will be operated by a turboprop Q400 aircraft four times a week providing over 31,000 seats between the destinations per year.
“These direct flights to Coffs Harbour will help support the growing demand for domestic travel and have flow on benefits for local businesses looking to recover from the impact of COVID-19,” said QantasLink CEO John Gissing. “We want to encourage travellers to holiday around Australia and with these new flights, we’re now offering more seats into Coffs Harbour than before COVID-19.

Animal welfare activists are welcoming new regulations which will effectively put an end to the use of dolphins for commercial breeding or entertainment in NSW.
Animal Justice Party MP Emma Hurst said they will stop any future dolphin âabuse-mentâ park from setting up across the state and will end the breeding of cetaceans for commercial purposes.
Cetaceans include whales, dolphins, and porpoises.
Coffs Harbourâs Dolphin Marine Conservation Park is the only remaining dolphin park in NSW however managing director Terry Goodall announced in March 2019 the park would no longer breed dolphins and would âget back to its rootsâ by shifting focus to the conservation and rehabilitation of marine wildlife.
