Canberra

Andrew Barr, Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has conceded the ACT government’s long running efforts to land international flights for Canberra could so far be limited to raising awareness of the city and region’s tourism potential, canberratimes.com reported.

Mr Barr met NSW Premier Mike Baird on Thursday, pitching the potential of direct international flights as an opportunity for Canberra region towns as well as the capital’s tourism providers.

The meeting came after he told a Legislative Assembly committee this week that any moves to schedule flights to Canberra from south-east Asia or New Zealand would ultimately come down to the potential for airlines to make money from new tickets.

Positive meetings with Virgin Australia chief executive John Borghetti and Qantas ACT regional general manager Allan Williams have continued and Mr Barr said he had spruiked Canberra to airlines including Cathay Pacific, Singapore, Air New Zealand, China Southern as well as some low-cost or alliance partners.
