On 4 February 2008, Virgin Blue commenced direct scheduled services between Sydney and Port Macquarie. The flights operate daily in the morning. The service is conducted by an Embraer ERJ170 aircraft, and is the first scheduled jet service for the airport. Connections are offered to all major Australian cities via Sydney.
Competition by Virgin Blue resulted in a significant drop in fare prices for the Port Macquarie - Sydney route, where Qantas previously operated a monopoly after Hazelton Airlines ceased services in 2001. [1]
