Yesterday the Commission's CEO Nils Hay, Director Regional Development Mike Bowley and Board Member Jerry Clune attended Nexus Airlines' official launch ahead of its first flight from Geraldton Airport, destined for Karratha, then Port Hedland, before arriving in Broome.

The Government of Western Australia has invested more than $4 million to expand the Inter-Regional Flight Network (IRFN), supporting the new link between Geraldton and Karratha and allowing the airline to invest in higher-capacity 76-seater aircraft to reduce airfares and increase passenger comfort.

The State Government's expansion of the IRFN and the improved services offered by Nexus Airlines are expected to create significant new business and tourism opportunities for the Mid West, Pilbara and Kimberley regions.

Nexus Airlines' Geraldton-Perth flights begin on 17 July, with Geraldton residents able to access capped airfares on the route through the State Government's Regional Airfare Zone Cap scheme.
