The Adelaide to Whitsundays flights have been operating since early September and have proven successful with local residents and incoming tourists alike.
The new route is providing Adelaide locals with a new direct, fast and cheaper route to The Whitsundays, Australia’s best tourist destination.
The influx of Adelaide travel-makers is increasing numbers for the Whitsundays tourism, but it also supplies locals with a new holiday destination.
CEO of Whitsunday Coast Airport Craig Turner said this new destination makes reaching capital cities more accessible for people here in the Whitsundays.
“Living in regional North Queensland, distance is a challenge for people. So, to be able to have connectivity to places like Adelaide, it makes the Whitsundays equally more liveable because you have cost effective and convenient flights to capital city destinations that make Australia a lot smaller,” said Craig.
“It is about offering a different experience to the Whitsundays for example going to enjoy a fire and some beautiful red wine from the Barossa in winter.
“Or go and see the seals down at Kangaroo Island.
“It is about the diverse experiences that we don't get in the Whitsundays.”
Adelaide is known as the City of Churches, but more excitingly, it is known for its wine regions, dining and great events year-round.
In late summer, 21 February – 23 March the Adelaide streets are bustling with excitement as everyone takes advantage of the warm evenings and fantastic shows.
For lovers of food Adelaide offers Tasting Australia in early May. It’s a celebration of food and a unique eating and drinking experience that only South Australia can offer.
In cold July many would think Adelaideans are hiding inside trying to stay warm, but this is not true. In July Illuminate Adelaide shines bright across the city, giving locals and travellers a winter festival filled with light, art, music and technology.
South Australia is known globally for its exceptional wine regions. The Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and the Barossa, deliver amazing wines. The d’Arenberg cube is a unique cellar door with food, art, wine tastings and experiences that make it a must visit destination.
Cricket and AFL enthusiasts will love Adelaide Oval for its exceptional match day atmosphere that is unrivalled.
The Whitsunday to Adelaide flights currently run three times a week but Craig hopes to grow this to five flights a week and then daily.
