Virgin Australia today announced the fares and schedule for its new service between Darwin and Sydney.

On sale today for travel from 2 April 2012, the new daily, direct service will be operated by Boeing 737 aircraft, with fares starting from $219.00 one way1.

Travellers will also have the option of our new Business Class on this route as well as a new Virgin Australia lounge at Darwin Airport, which is an attractive proposition for corporates and high-end leisure travellers.
