Qantas to Fly Melbourne-Ayers Rock Direct
Qantas flies Melbourne-Ayers Rock direct
(Travelpress) Qantas will begin the first-ever direct service between Melbourne and Ayers Rock on June 26. The airline will operate four Boeing 737 services a week on the new route, a move welcomed by tourism operators in the Red Centre. "This new service will create at least $2 million of potential new business each year for Voyages Ayers Rock Resort," Voyages CEO Grant Hunt said. "It will have an enormous flow on effect for the tourism industry and regional economy by stimulating domestic travel in a lucrative market." Qantas also believes the move will boost Australian tourism. "It will now be even easier for Victorians to visit some of the greatest tourist attractions in the Northern Territory, including Uluru and Kata Tjuta," Qantas Executive General Manager John Borghetti said. "As Uluru is one of the top Australian attractions for overseas visitors, by opening a non-stop route from Ayers Rock to Melbourne, we are making it easier for international tourists to include Victoria in their itineraries." One-way fares on the route will be priced from $199, including taxes and charges. |

Cheaper than *most* MEL-ASP flights, IIRC. What kind of aircraft are they normally scheduling? Connellan Airport (AYQ) is pretty small. |

By comparison, Alice Springs' 12/30 runway is 2438x45 (and Hobart International's 12/30 is 2251x45). All take 737's. |
