The fares are available to residents who are members of the Velocity Frequent Flyer program and have their profile linked to a regional address at an eligible location.

Minimum return fares are available through the program from $400 for Kalgoorlie, $500 for Karratha, Port Hedland, Newman and Broome and $550 for Kununurra.

Maximum capped return fares are also being introduced as part of the Program; $600 for Kalgoorlie; $700 for Karratha, Port Hedland, Newman and Broome; and $750 for Kununurra.

The WA Government is also providing affordable and accessible airfares through financial support of $24.4 million to WA’s aviation industry.

Previous WA Government recovery initiatives already enabled discounted airfares for travel from Broome, Kununurra, Exmouth and Perth along with more community fares to all passengers including visitors to Albany, Esperance, Carnarvon and Monkey Mia.
