Discounted Fares for Regional Residents

The Regional Airfare Zone Cap scheme is an initiative by the WA State Government, making it easier to connect with loved ones, visit healthcare professionals, and access other essential services in Perth.

Under the updated scheme, regional airfares from Geraldton to Perth with Nexus Airlines are capped at a maximum cost of $398 return ($199 one-way) for low demand flights and $438 return ($219 one-way) for high demand flights.

Resident fares are not available for one-way flights. Passengers must complete a return journey into Perth, starting from Geraldton.

To access zone capped fares, search return flights from Geraldton to Perth and select ‘Book Resident Fare’ when prompted.

Verification of eligibility required.  A declaration must be made at time of booking and the details may be passed on to the WA State Government for audit and enforcement purposes.

Regional Zone Cap fares must be booked as a return flight to the same destination.
