Cheap flights and discounted Kimberley experiences are on offer as the State Government moves to boost tourism and local business after the axing of Jetstar Asia’s Broome-Singapore route.

More than 4000 discount airfares are being made available on Virgin Australia’s Perth-to-Broome route and for passengers on Nexus’ regional WA flights into the iconic Kimberley destination.

“While it was disappointing that the Jetstar Asia Broome-to-Singapore flights were cancelled, we’re reinforcing our commitment to enhancing our State’s regional connections,” Tourism Minister Reece Whitby said.

“Broome is one of WA’s most iconic and beloved destinations, and these additional discounted flights will drive even more visitors to the Kimberley, providing a much-needed tourism boost.

“These discounts are yet another example of how we’re supporting regional tourism and diversifying our economy, and I encourage anyone thinking of heading to Broome to make that booking a reality to enjoy the fantastic Kimberley region of our State.”

Starting from $199 one-way Virgin’s additional discount airfares will be available between August 25 and October 26, unless sold out prior, adding to the 16,400 discounted airfares already made available on the Perth-to-Broome route as part of the 2025 Affordable Airfares Program.

Nexus Airlines also has discount airfares starting from $199 for one-way flights from Port Hedland to Broome, $299 for Karratha to Broome one-way and $399 for Geraldton to Broome one-way from July 19 to October 31, unless sold out.

Vouchers of 25 per cent off applicable tours and experiences and will also be available through the Broome Visitors Centre this dry season as part of the package from July 15 to 31 October 31, unless sold out prior.

Kimberley Minister Stephen Dawson said the discounted flights and tours were a great opportunity for people wishing to visit Broome and the Kimberley.

“With its dramatic landscapes and unique experiences on offer, the Cook Government is proud to support the region’s tourism industry,” he said.

“Not only are these discounted airfares and experiences a win for visitors to the region but it’s also a win for regional businesses and tour operators.”

Supported by the State Government, through Tourism WA, the discounted fares form part of the Government’s economic diversification strategy to supporting regional tourism in Broome following the closure of Jetstar Asia.
