Northern Territory Airports has welcomed Qantas’ plans to increase seat capacity to Darwin and Alice Springs between April and July. The service increases follow record numbers through Darwin International Airport over the last three months. Compared to the current schedule, an additional 4,255 seats per week will operate to/from Darwin, and an additional 1,690 seats per week to/from Alice Springs. The NT is anticipating a bumper tourist season, with the opening of the Darwin Convention Centre, a number of new hotel developments and the Alice Springs Masters Games later this year. Northern Territory Airports CEO Ian Kew said, “This year we have also dispelled the notion that people do not want to want to visit the Top End during the green season.” The airport has invested over A$70 million in the last three years on major upgrades.
