Qantas heads back to Burnie

The Flying Kangaroo will launch direct flights from Burnie to Melbourne for the first time in 15 years to meet growing demand for travel within Australia. 

From 21 June 2021, QantasLink will operate seven weekly return flights from Burnie to Melbourne with its 50-seat Q300 turboprop aircraft, adding 700 seats on the route each week.

This announcement follows four other new routes Qantas has launched to Tasmania in recent months in response to demand – Brisbane-Hobart, Sydney-Launceston, Perth-Hobart and Canberra-Hobart.

Qantas is offering special fares for flights on the new route from $125 one way, until 11.59pm AEST 9 May 2021, unless sold out prior. Terms and conditions apply.*

Qantas’ Fly Flexible policy offers customers who book flights before 31 July 2021 added flexibility with unlimited fee-free date changes when travelling before 28 February 2022. A fare difference may apply.
