Sky’s the limit for APT

APT Travel Group has unveiled a brand new touring division called Private Air Tours, allowing travellers to take private charter flights to a range of popular Australian destinations.

The new range of tours enable travellers to circumnavigate traditional commercial routes to remote locations, many of which have been interrupted by the travel shutdown.

APT Travel Group CEO David Cox said its new private charter touring product offered a “genuine alternative” to commercial airlines during a time of uncertainty in Australia.

“As we all know, the travel industry has changed dramatically, many scheduled commercial flights have been cancelled and the reality is we don’t know when they will resume,” he said.

“By chartering a private aircraft and designing itineraries to match our guests’ needs, we can offer a unique holiday experience that is possible in this new travel landscape,” Cox added.

The first departure for the new Private Air Tours offering took place last month, taking Queenslanders to explore outback Queensland for nine days - the first tour to take place for the company since Mar.

The full 2021 range and brochure is due to be released in Nov, with a return trip from BNE to Kangaroo Island, Port Augusta and Uluru now on sale from $6,695 per person.

APT’s product follows similar moves in the domestic market by other operators, with Crooked Compass launching Adventure by Air in Sep, introducing eight curated journeys (TD 15 Sep).
