With QantasLink launching direct flights from Brisbane to the town of Proserpine (on the Whitsunday Coast) after a seven-year hiatus, holidaymakers in Australiaâs Sunshine State will soon have more travel options to the world-famous Whitsunday Islands.
From September 17, 2021, QantasLink will operate up to seven weekly return flights between Proserpine and Brisbane with its 74-seat Q400 turboprop aircraft, adding more than 1,000 seats on the route each week. Between Qantas, QantasLink and Jetstar, the Group has now launched more than 45 new routes since the beginning of the pandemic, around half of which are into Queensland.
