14.01.2022 The first QantasLink passengers have arrived at the upgraded Merimbula airport terminal Qantas Group CFO, Vanessa Hudson was among the first passengers to disembark The flight. As the national carrier, we have an important role to play in helping the industry recover from COVID-19, Ms Hudson said....

We’ve seen a strong response from travellers since these flights went on sale and have extended the service to operate through to October next year.
