Australia’s South West is delighted to celebrate the launch of QantasLink’s direct flight between Perth and Busselton-Margaret River, enhancing access to a region that is abundant in nature, ancient culture, indulgence, adventure, exceptional produce and simple joys.
The inaugural flight today, Friday 27 June, marks the beginning of a service designed to make exploring the South West easier and more efficient for travellers.
With more than 30,000 seats available annually, the new route is set to boost visitation and broaden the South West’s appeal to a wider range of travellers.
