QantasLink initially launched in April with two services a week on a Monday and Friday but from 21 June, will operate a third-weekly service on Tuesdays with its 50 seat Q300 aircraft. The airline has also announced it will ramp up to five weekly return services from 1 November.
Qantas will also add flights around key tourism events in the region, like the Mundi Mundi Bash, Broken Heel Festival and September school holidays.
QantasLink CEO John Gissing said the Broken Hill flights, launched on 8 April had been well-received by the local community, with strong demand in both directions.
“Since we started operating to Broken Hill, we’ve sold out several flights and our bookings looking ahead are great which gives us the confidence to add in another service to offer more convenience for both locals and visitors.” Mr Gissing said.
“When we launched, we indicated that we were in it for the long haul, and we are really happy with the response.”
“We are proud to serve Broken Hill and as a regional airline born in the outback, we understand the importance of connecting remote communities with major centres. We’d like to thank our customers in Broken Hill for giving us a go.”
Travellers will continue to enjoy the benefits of Qantas’ premium service, including complimentary food and drinks, baggage and lounge access in Sydney before they fly to Broken Hill. Customers can also connect via Sydney through Qantas’ extensive domestic and international network.
Since the start of the pandemic, the Qantas Group has commenced over 50 new domestic routes including to many regional destinations.

Broken Hill....... the ultimate outback oasis
There is nowhere else quite like Broken Hill, which has all the quirky culture and unique charm of an outback town with a camp claim to fame.
Broken Hill has a rich history as a mining town but it goes way beyond that and is perhaps these days better known for its arts scene with bush artists and artisans gravitating to the city for its stark landscapes and colours. There is a thriving arts community here with galleries galore - in fact, there are more galleries than there are pubs and I bet you didn't expect that!
There is a good retail hub in Broken Hill, so you'll find plenty of interesting things to buy as well as some sights to see. Walk down Argent Street and it is almost like you've gone back in time, from classic architecture to some new and trendy coffee shops and eating places.
No visit to Broken Hill would be complete without a tour of the Line of Load and the Miners memorial – a clear reminder of the difficult and somewhat dangerous working conditions those hardy souls had to endure.
