Ozjet 737 to Norfolk Is
The Norfolk Island Government said it has reached agreement with Ozjet to begin a regular B737 jet service from Sydney and Brisbane from Wednesday, May 24.
Chief minister Geoff Gardner said the Ozjet aircraft would take over Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday departures operated by Air Nauru.
"It will continue to be booked and ticketed by Qantas but will offer much-needed extra capacity and greater continuity under a 12 month, renewable contract," Gardner said.
Norfolk Island Tourism General Manager Steve McInnes said the island could now look forward to a new era for its tourism industry.
The 737-200 will be configured for 108 passengers in one-class offering 20 per cent more capacity over the interim Fokker F100 service. Ozjet will supply air and cabin crew and catering.
