Norfolk Air has added the Gold Coast to its expanding route network in Australia.

“We have a new aircraft and a new service, and we want as many people as possible to know about the great value that Australia’s closest overseas destination can offer Australians wanting a break in one of the most spectacular and naturally beautiful locations on Earth,” said Norfolk Air CEO, Jeff Murdoch.

Norfolk Island is a popular destination for both leisure travelers and with the MICE market, with natural beauty and range of activities on offer.

Using a Boeing 737-300 jet, the new service leaves Gold Coast Airport at 10:10am and arrives on Norfolk Island at 1:45pm local time. Return flights leave Norfolk Island at 2:45pm each Thursday, arriving back on the Gold Coast at 3:30pm.
