Coffs Harbour Airport celebrates return of Link Airways Canberra service

Coffs Harbour Airport and Link Airways are today celebrating the return of seasonal services between Coffs Harbour and Canberra.

The service that was initially launched in September 2022 was popular between both destinations linking the Coffs Coast to the nation’s capital. Link Airways will begin operating the twice weekly seasonal service on 23 January 2025 until the end of April 2025.

Coffs Harbour Airport General Manager Frank Mondello was excited to welcome back the return of seasonal Canberra services.

“The recommencement of Link Airways seasonal services between Coffs Harbour and Canberra will create more choice for our community and add more capacity into the region,” Mr Mondello said.

“The direct service will give locals the opportunity to fly direct and explore Canberra’s wonderful historic museums and galleries, while giving Canberrans the chance to explore the incredible Coffs Coast.

“Team Coffs Harbour has been working to promote the Coffs Coast as a destination of choice and we thank Link Airways for their support in growing aviation connectivity.”

City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Nikki Williams said: “This is a win-win for Coffs Coasters and Canberrans as both destinations enjoy points of difference.

“Our sweeping unspoiled beaches, relaxed lifestyle and lush rainforests are the perfect foil to the Bush Capital offerings. Our renowned extra-long summer will provide the perfect getaway for Canberrans seeking a unique experience at NSW’s first accredited ECO Destination.”

Jeff Boyd, Manager of Network Strategy at Link Airways, said, “We are pleased to reintroduce this service. The previous success of this route gives us confidence that travellers will once again embrace the convenience of these direct flights,” Mr Boyd said.

“It will also create a new convenient connection for travellers through Link Airway’s codeshare partnerships with Virgin Australia, providing great connectivity thanks to Virgin Australia’s expansive route network. This announcement strengthens connectivity between the ACT and the Coffs Coast, benefiting business and leisure travellers alike”.
