The Newcastle route, for which tickets are now on sale, is a year-round service of four flights per week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Saturday services will also operate from May to September and there will be additional flights on Tuesday and Thursday during the school holidays in July and August, taking the service daily.

The 85-minute non-stop flight compares to the the fastest daily rail service - with one change and 20 stops - which takes nine hours and 38 minutes.
