Skytrans Airline has been operating a flight from Whitsunday Coast Airport to Cairns for over two years and they want more people to know about it.
Why fly south and spend up to six hours in transit, when in just 1 hour and 25 minutes you can get from the Whitsundays to Cairns, and still enjoy that wonderful tropical weather?
Whitsundays to Cairns is over 600 kilometres and a takes several hours to drive, which is a long drive and too long for some.
The direct flight from Whitsundays to Cairns connects people in Cairns and the Whitsundays, allowing people to fly seamlessly between the two, without having an expensive and longer flight connecting from Brisbane.
In Cairns you can experience the iconic Skyrail, Indigenous tours and white-water rafting, or explore the greater area such as Port Douglas or the Daintree.
During Pre- Covid times the Whitsunday Coast Airport visitors would be 45% international.
International customers would arrive via Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, but they did not have international customers arriving from the north.
CEO of Whitsunday Coast Airport Craig Turner said “People can fly now into Cairns and then straight to the Whitsundays directly.”
“It was strategically important because it opened up a northern international entry point for us as a destination,” he explained.
“We are already seeing more and more international tourists coming in on that flight.”
Seeing more and more international visitors coming directly from Cairns is encouraging and is on trend with the State and Federal Government forecast of international visitation reaching its full strength and pre-covid levels at the end of 2025.
