Virgin Australia Community Day at Bundaberg Airport This Saturday

To celebrate the launch of scheduled services between Bundaberg and Brisbane, Virgin Australia will be 'throwing the doors open' and hosting a free 'community day' at Bundaberg Airport this Saturday 27 April.

The day will kick off at around 11.00am and go until 2.30pm.

With scheduled services commencing to the Rum City the following weekend, this is the perfect opportunity for Bundaberg locals to view Virgin's ATR 72 turbo-prop aircraft up close, as well as talk to the friendly Virgin Australia flight crew and ground staff.
