Virgin Australia restarts its link between Perth and Hobart

Perth Airport Chief Executive Officer Kevin Brown said that it was great to see Virgin Australia operating more services to destinations listed as ‘very low risk’ under the State Government’s controlled borders.

“Travel between Tasmania and Western Australia is open to passengers without any Covid-19 restrictions, so we are expecting travel between the two capital cities to be popular.

“And we look forward to adding more interstate destinations when it is safe to do so.

“Passengers can also be assured that our airport has robust Covid-safe processes and measure in place safe as we have recently had our Airport Health Accreditation renewed for a second year, after being the first Australian airport to be awarded the international rating in 2020.”

The new Hobart service creates an important connection between the two cities and adds 1,050 leisure tourism seats per week to the Perth and Western Australia market.

The service will operate on Monday, Friday and Sunday on a Boeing 737 aircraft.
