Qantas will operate return services on Tuesday and Friday this week, moving to daily return services from December 29 until March 21, 2014.
Brindabella customers in Newcastle who currently hold a valid Brindabella ticket will be eligible to receive special relief airfares to Canberra via Sydney.
QantasLink chief executive John Gissing said Qantas would offer Moree customers discounted airfares starting from $129, as well as special relief airfares for those customers who were originally booked on Brindabella.
“We recognise how important access to air transport is to regional communities, especially for medical and business purposes,” added Mr Gissing.
Customers who were booked to fly on Brindabella from Moree to Sydney will be eligible for a special relief airfare.
Following Brindabella’s suspension of operations and subsequent receivership, Qantas, as the national carrier, announced it would provide impacted customers with special relief airfares and would be looking options to help impacted communities.
Impacted Brindabella customers can access the special relief airfares through the Qantas Contact Centre on 13 13 13.
