Fly Corporate launches new service

Beginning Monday, February 20, flights will operate Monday through Friday mornings departing.

Brisbane at 7.50am QLD time and arriving in Orange at 10.50am NSW time.

The return service will depart Orange and 11.25am NSW time and arrive in Brisbane at 12.10pm QLD time.

Mr Andrew Major, CEO of Fly Corporate, said he is delighted by the community response to the exciting

new route in Fly Corporate’s regional network.

“Our detailed research had identified a strong need for direct flights between Brisbane and Orange, and

that’s been confirmed by the strong response from the Orange community since word of the new routes

emerged just before Christmas,” Andrew Major said. “We’re in Orange today to officially launch the new

flights, but I’m very pleased with the level of bookings that are already coming through.”

“The flights will provide a viable and practical regional service for central west population centres such as Bathurst, Cowra, Parkes, Canowindra, Forbes, Lithgow and their surrounds along with personnel working at Newcrest’s Cadia mine.

“It’s good to meet with members of the local business community today. The new route will greatly

enhance opportunities for business between the central west region and Queensland.

"It also has potential to attract medical specialists to the region from Queensland, enhance tourism opportunities and support travel commitments for families with children at school or university in Queensland. Brisbane offers a readily accessible gateway for residents of Orange and the surrounding districts providing connections to 28 international ports and dozens of domestic destinations”.

Mr Major stated that he would like to thank Orange City Council, for working with Fly Corporate to bring

these services to Orange.

Orange Mayor John Davis, OAM, said Fly Corporate’s decision to operate out of Orange was a vote of

confidence in the region’s future.

“I was pleased to see the completion of the recent re-sealing of the main runway at the Orange Airport,

and today’s launch is a clear sign of why that work is an investment in key infrastructure for the city and

the region.

"The airport is a growing business hub and our proposed new business park next to the airport is designed to cater for future growth. Corporate Air’s decision to open a route here adds another reason for new businesses to open in Orange,” Cr Davis said.
