Flights to Alice Springs
DIRECT flights between Alice Springs and Cairns have started with Airnorth operating the service.
The new service strengthens links between two of Australia’s most iconic regions, offering more than 30,000 seats annually and enhancing domestic and international itineraries.
Airnorth boss Daniel Bowden said the airline was proud to expand its network with this important new connection.
“The Alice Springs-Cairns route strengthens Australia’s regional network, linking two dynamic destinations that offer unique tourism experiences and business opportunities,” he said.
“We’re thrilled to provide greater accessibility and choice for travellers.”
Cairns Airport chief executive officer Richard Barker said Airnorth’s new service would entice more visitors to both Cairns and Alice Springs and encourage longer stays in each region.
“Each destination offers unique attractions and rich cultural experiences, so tourists are usually keen to visit both regions while they’re here,” he said. “This new, direct service will streamline their journey and prevent additional stops in capital city airports, which means more time for exploring the beauty of the Tropical North.”
