Howdy,

Skywest announces Kalgoorlie to Melbourne service
Skywest Airlines announced today that it will shortly commence direct flights from Kalgoorlie to Melbourne.
The much anticipated service will commence 21 November 2007, and will operate three times a week. The flights will be direct and operate to Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport.
Skywest Airlines Chief Executive Officer, Paul Daff, said the Kalgoorlie to Melbourne service was an exciting new chapter for the Western Australian based airline.
“Kalgoorlie has not had a direct air service link to Melbourne, and we believe that the Skywest service will be eagerly utilised by a number of mining and corporate organisations based in both Kalgoorlie and Melbourne.”
“It also will facilitate convenient access to Melbourne for Kalgoorlie residents; and help stimulate tourism into Kalgoorlie from the east coast,” Mr Daff said.
The service will operate three times a week, by 100-seater Fokker 100 jet air aircraft.
“As with all of Skywest’s Fokker services, the Kalgoorlie to Melbourne service will offer a premium economy class product of hot meals, in-flight bar, Dome café quality coffee and the most spacious economy legroom of any Australian airline,” Mr Daff said.
Whilst the service is not set to commence until November, Skywest has already opened bookings to the public. For bookings made prior to September 9, 2007 (for travel at any time), Skywest is offering a special fare of just $250 one way or $498 return. Bookings can be made via the website at skywest.com.au, calling 1300 66 00 88 or visiting a travel agent.
