Fly Corporate today announced that from 13 September 2017 it will commence flights between Inverell NSW and Brisbane QLD.
The schedule will offer direct weekday morning flights from Brisbane to Inverell with a return service to Brisbane via Moree. The service will operate Monday through Friday.
CEO of Fly Corporate, Mr Andrew Major, said the airline is very pleased to be able to reintroduce air services to Inverell. He stated that “We have been in conversation with Inverell Shire Council and the Inverell Chamber of Commerce through their Inverell Airservice Working Group (IASWG) for almost a year. We have been very impressed with the strong business case that the IASWG and the Council have presented to us to establish the service. This representation and support, along with our own research gives us the confidence that there is a need and a market for scheduled flights from Inverell to Brisbane”.
In conclusion Mr Major said that “the convenient weekday flights will not only improve connectivity for business and tourism but will also put Brisbane within easy reach of the people of Inverell and surrounding districts for medical appointments, leisure and easy access to connecting flights both domestic and international. Fly Corporate looks forward to providing this valuable service and being a part of this vibrant Regional Community”.
Inverell Shire Council Acting Mayor, Cr Anthony Michael, said “The Chamber of Commerce Working Party and Council recognise that the provision of an air service to Inverell is a precursor to a lift in economic activity. The connectivity that an air service provides to Australian and International destinations enhances the opportunities available for residents to conduct recreational and business activities. An air service also enables visitors and others to more easily access Inverell. I look forward to the commencement of services in September, and I encourage residents to utilise these services. Welcome Fly Corporate, I wish you every success and look forward to you considering adding other destinations to our route when the time is right”.
