AUSTRALIAN Aviation reports that Pelican Airways has been cleared to offer direct passenger flights between Canberra and Newcastle.

The Newcastle-based Pelican will offer a twice daily service on weekdays, as well as one flight on Sunday, with 19-seat BAE Jetstream 32 aircraft, restoring direct service between the two cities for the first time since the collapse of Brindabella Airlines in December 2013.

Flights start from 1 June and their website suggest a return flight will cost $300.
