Whitsunday residents can now travel directly to the Hunter Valley thanks to new direct flights to Newcastle which commenced last Thursday.
Bonza Airlines will now travel twice weekly to the wine growing region, allowing locals to enjoy cultural weekends away and, more broadly, general tourists to experience both the vines and the reef within one holiday.
Whitsunday Regional Council mayor Julie Hall applauded Bonza for exploring new routes to make it easy for Aussie families in regional areas to reconnect.
“Connecting the amazing Newcastle and Hunter Valley wine region to the beautiful Whitsundays, heart of the Great Barrier Reef is a win for both communities,” she said.
“From the vines to the reef opens a huge catchment area that can now access budget direct flights to the wonderful Whitsundays.”
Bonza is Australia’s brand-new independently owned airline carrier and its head office operates from the Sunshine Coast.
The airline aims to reinstate affordable air travel and each hour of travel will cost passengers on average $50.
Bonza travels between the Whitsundays and the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba weekly.
