OzJet Airlines is set to add an additional flight on its Perth to Derby route.
The airline commenced services to Derby in February 2007 with three flights a week returning a jet service there after fourteen years absence.
OzJet business development manager Michael Lockman concluded negotiations with mining companies to utilise an
increased number of seats on the route.
The carrier has worked closely with a number of key stakeholders including the Shire of Derby-West Kimberley to attract key support for the additional flight thatcommences on Monday, 12 May.
OzJet ceo Willie O'Neill said the airline's continued growth in the region is most pleasing.
"The additional service assists our resource partners by providing a timely transport solution for its workers and sustained economic growth for the shire of Derby-West Kimberley,' says O'Neill.
"It also is a fillip for local tourism operators with increased demand for travelers going to Derby, the gateway to the Kimberley region's many natural tourist attractions. We have also added an on-board Business Class service on the flight."
OzJet departs Perth at 5:30am, arriving in Derby at 8:10am. Return flights depart at 11:10am arriving Perth at 2:00pm pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Monday flights will commence weekly from 12 May.
