Flyers on the Newcastle to the Gold Coast route are soon to have a choice of carriers.
FlyPelican has announced it will launch a new service from Newcastle to Gold Coast Airport from March 24.
The flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, leaving at 7am and arriving within 1.5 hours, with a 30-minute turnaround before the return flight, the Australian Aviation website reports.
The new service will use a Jetstream 32 aircraft with a capacity for 19 passengers with a checked baggage allowance included.
“FlyPelican is thrilled to expand our network, with our focus on getting local people where they need to go,” company CEO Marty Hawley said.
“We are now filling a key gap for travellers to and from the Gold Coast that are in need of a morning departure.”
Newcastle Airport acting CEO Andrew Warrender also noted that the morning departure times are ideal for business travellers and align with the business’ aim to improve connectivity for the Hunter region.
FlyPelican will compete with Jetstar on the route.
