Starting on 4th February, Virgin Blue announced "Capital Jet "- an 8 times a day service between Canberra and Sydney. The new service has flights leaving to fit in with important business times and is aimed at government workers who want to fly between the two cities. A spokesman for Virgin Blue said [quote] "Canberra-Sydney route is one of the last remaining monopoly routes in this country and Virgin Blue is excited to break that stranglehold. We will bring back some fair competition and we are ready, willing and able with the right jet, to step up to the plate and provide the competitive choice Canberra travellers deserve. " Fares start from just 69 Austrian Dollars each way. Virgin Blue already have services in place between Canberra and Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne and Canberra to the Gold Coast. The airline is expected to increase the number of flights on all these routes to cater for the strong demand when it takes delivery of more aircraft in 2008.
