NEWCASTLE CONNECTS TO LORD HOWE ISLAND

The Hunter region and Northern NSW will have easier access to the World Heritage site, Lord Howe Island, from 14 November thanks to a new agreement between Newcastle Airport and Port Macquarie-based airline, Eastern Air Services.

Eastern Air Services will operate a direct service from Newcastle Airport to Lord Howe Island on a 10-seat Beechcraft B200 aircraft.

Newcastle Airport CEO Dr Peter Cock said he was buoyed by the growing optimism in the aviation industry and excited about the ability of the airport to help connect its region with one of the most beautiful places on earth.

“With domestic borders starting to open, I think we’ll see strong demand for leisure travel within Australia in the coming weeks,” Dr Cock said.

“We know our customers are keen to fly and with international travel still some way off, we feel the people of our region deserve a range of exciting and unique holiday options. The eco-tourism experience at this World Heritage island certainly fits that category.”

Frequency of services will increase with demand over the peak summer months and as awareness of the service increases. Visitors can book now via Eastern Air Services or via their local travel agent.
