Virgin has suspended flights between Darwin and Adelaide from June this year during the height of Northern Territory’s tourism season.
A Virgin Australia spokesperson confirmed the airline had made some adjustments to schedule following a review of their network for the summer 2025 season between April and October.
“This will see Virgin Australia increase seat capacity through Darwin by approximately 6 percent compared to the same period last year,” the spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
“As part of this review, we have made the difficult decision to indefinitely suspend our seasonal Adelaide-Darwin route based on low forecasted demand.”
Virgin said they understood this would be disappointing for some guests, but explained it enables them to reallocate capacity to markets where demand is higher.
“Additional flights will be scheduled on Brisbane to Darwin and Melbourne to Darwin routes during the peak season from June to August 2025,” a Virgin spokesperson said.
