Qantas has announced two new routes to regional NSW in an attempt to lift tourism post-COVID. From today, the airline will start flying from Sydney to the popular coastal town of Byron Bay – for the first time in 15 years. From July 20, passengers will be able to fly direct from Sydney to Orange, which has become a hotspot for wine and food lovers. QantasLink CEO John Gissing said the growing demand for domestic bookings is a positive sign local tourism is slowly getting back on track. The new routes come days after the airline announced thousands of jobs would be lost in the wake of the COVID-19 fallout, which has battered the aviation and tourism sector.
