The decision represents a more than 40% boost in flights to meet growing demand.
The expanded schedule will support both leisure and business travel including guests connecting via Perth from the east coast, with flights operated on Boeing 737 aircraft and Virgin Australia Group’s brand-new Embraer E190-E2.
“We know that Broome is a tourism hotspot for the state, so these extra services make it easier for visitors from across Australia to explore the region, boosting local tourism and supporting businesses,” said Alistair Hartley, Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer.
“At the same time, we’re strengthening connectivity between the regions for important appointments, education, business, or family trips.
“Flights will be operated by our Boeing 737s and brand-new Embraer E190-E2 aircraft which are already delivering enhanced comfort, lower emissions and a superior travel experience for guests.”
The announcement follows Virgin Australia’s commitment to continue participating in the Western Australian Government’s Regional Airfare Zone Cap scheme, which has recently been extended until June 2031.
Under the scheme, regional residents of Western Australia can access capped airfares for leisure travel between Perth and regional hubs across the state, including Broome.
Virgin Australia currently offers direct flights to Perth from Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, with Perth-Broome services timed to enable connections from east coast capital cities.
