Starting in November, Virgin Australia will resume service from Sydney and Melbourne to Coffs Harbour. The carrier will offer up to 21 weekly returns, with Sydney-Coffs Harbour flights resuming on November 11th and Melbourne service restarting on November 18, 2021.
On Friday (October 8, 2021), Virgin Australia announced the restart of flights from Sydney and Melbourne from November 2021. Service between Sydney and Coffs Harbour was suspended in April 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The carrier will offer up to 21 weekly return services, with Sydney-Coffs Harbour flights resuming on November 11th and Melbourne service restarting on November 18, 2021, with service running through April 25, 2022.
In Friday’s announcement, Virgin Australia Group’s Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Alistair Hartley, said,
“Virgin Australia is thrilled to re-introduce services from Sydney and Melbourne to Coffs Harbour in time for the busy Christmas holiday period. Virgin Australia will provide over 14,500 seats each month to Coffs Harbour for our guests to experience the beautiful beaches, incredible National Parks and of course visit the Big Banana! We know many travellers, particularly those from New South Wales and Victoria, will be excited to experience the freedom to travel again and our flights will not only provide an opportunity to explore more of
our wonderful country, but to reunite with friends and family in time for the summer holidays.
“The flights will provide a massive injection into the local tourism economy, not to mention allow more Virgin Australia team members to return to the skies, which they have dearly missed the past few months.
“To give customers added confidence when making a new booking, we are continuing to waive applicable change fees and allowing unlimited changes for bookings for travel between now and 28 February 2022. And for the next six months, all Velocity Frequent Flyer members will receive up to 100 per cent bonus Status Credits when they fly on eligible bookings, so they’ll be able to snag a bargain airfare and be rewarded for their loyalty with up to twice as many Status Credits when they fly.”
