NEW DIRECT FLIGHTS TO TAREE

Visitors to the Mid North Coast will soon be able to catch a direct flight to Taree from Sydney, with a new service operated by FlyPelican announced this week.

The news comes off the back of Regional Express announcing last week its intention to cease operating out of Taree from Saturday, 27 January 2018. The new service removes the need to land in Newcastle and will reduce travel time on the Taree route.

FlyPelican Chief Executive Officer Paul Graham said, “FlyPelican will commence double daily return flights between Taree and Sydney from Monday, 29 January 2018. We will be pulling out all the stops to mount an operation at the end of January to provide the community with a seamless option to fly to and from Taree with optimum flight times in the morning and evening to support both the business and the leisure markets.”

“The Jetstream 32 aircraft seats 19 passengers in comfort and style, with a direct flight time of just one hour between Taree and Sydney, which in comparison to a four-hour long drive is just so convenient. There is also potential and capacity to increase the frequency of flights to bring passenger numbers back to where they were.”

Fares start from $119 one-way and are on sale now.
