Virgin Australia leadership in the NSW Mid North Coast
Regional Development Australia - Mid North Coast is delighted to announce its corporate partnership with Virgin Australia. This partnership was confirmed at the recent Strategic Regional Leadership Conference and cements Virgin Australia’s commitment to regional Australia and its operation in the Mid North Coast through both the Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie airports.
RDA Mid North Coast recognises the leadership demonstrated by Virgin Australia in regional Australia. The recent commitment by Virgin Australia to the Mid North Coast by scheduling the regular services Brisbane/Port Macquarie utilising the ATR-72 ‘turboprops’ to form the foundation of the Virgin Australia regional network plans is emphasised by John Borghetti who stated “The ATR is the best aircraft to operate on regional routes throughout Australia”. It provides the greatest fuel efficiency and passenger comfort for this category of aircraft.
The recent addition of the Port Macquarie to Brisbane route by Virgin Australia has strengthened the ability for the region to access the ever growing South-East Queensland region. This initiative provides a cost effective transport option for business, tourism operators and government agencies to engage with the SEQ economy and adds a new North-South focus route to the established Virgin regular services to Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie. This inclusion within Virgin Australia’s flight schedule aligns with Regional Development Australia - Mid North Coast’s regional plan’s primary objective of connecting our region to our neighbours and our country.
The alignment of RDA Mid North Coast and Virgin Australia demonstrates the confidence of partnerships between Government/Community/Industry and supports the value of the Mid North Coast for business and new tourism.
The RDA Mid North Coast corporate partnership with Virgin Australia supports the RDA Mid North Coast’s Communication Strategy through major events such as the Strategic Regional Leadership Conference and T.H.E. Exchange (Technology-Health-Education) Expo/Seminar.
