Virgin Australia continues to expand its domestic network in time for summer, with the airline today kicking off its services between Hobart and Perth.
Flights between the two cities will operate three times per week, allowing for up to 4,200 passengers to travel each month.
The news follows last week’s commencement of services between Hobart and Adelaide which is now operating four times per week and allowing up to 5,600 additional passengers to fly each month.
Virgin Australia experienced a 90 per cent increase in Tasmanian bookings compared to the previous week after the announcement of new services to the Apple Isle and the Tasmanian Government’s release of a recovery roadmap.
Since September Virgin Australia has added 12 additional domestic routes to its network and is scheduled to resume flights to Fiji in December, followed by Bali and New Zealand from early next year.
