The new service, launched yesterday, will operate weekly on Thursdays with fares starting at $85 one way.
The flights connecting Port Macquarie and Newcastle come after FlyPelican launched its Port Macquarie direct to Canberra service on 1 November 2020.
Newcastle Airport CEO Dr Peter Cock said the continued support of the Newcastle Airport catchment was behind the recent addition of several new services operating to and from Newcastle Airport.
"What we've seen over the last 12 months is strong, ongoing demand for air travel to and from our [Newcastle Airport] catchment which has consistently been higher than the rest of the nation.
“This supports our region by enhancing connectivity, allowing customers from regional NSW easier access to the services available in Newcastle and the ability to use Newcastle Airport as a hub to get to where they need to go,” Dr Cock said.
Fly Pelican CEO Marty Hawley said the new service will suit people looking to spend an afternoon to attend to business or spend time visiting family and friends.
“Local getaways are becoming increasingly popular, and we look forward to connecting the two regions,” Mr Hawley said.
