Brisbane, despite often enough being a destination onto itself, will see a host of new services added courtesy of Virgin Australia, with new all-economy flights to Bundaberg and Moranbah to begin early in April. This expansion comes just a short while before Virgin is expected to absorb Skywest. The added routes are expected to capitalize on the already busy hub, with over 11 domestic and international connections just three hours away.

Virgin Australia is expanding business travellers' options from its hub at Brisbane, with new flights to Moranbah and Bundaberg in regional Queensland.

Brisbane-Moranbah services will start off twice daily on weekdays as of 2 April, with an extra weekday flight from 15 April. On weekends, there'll be a single Sunday return.

Brisbane-Bundaberg, meanwhile, will see a single daily afternoon return flight on the hour-long journey, with a 1240 departure from Brisbane and a 1410 takeoff from Bundaberg.
