Both Saturday services - usually operated by a QantasLink Dash-8-Q400 - and Sunday jet services direct from Sydney to Hervey Bay have been cut with passengers now forced to connect through Brisbane.

The move is a part of a re-vamp of Qantas / QantasLink Boeing B717-200 services which has also seen some services to Coffs Harbour dropped and other services introduced including to Townsville and Mount Isa from Brisbane.
