Local Fare Scheme
Subsidised air travel for eligible residents in remote communities
Affordable Air Travel
Sheree and Greg at Destination Iron Range are very proud to be part of the service team delivering the Local Fare Scheme (LFS) to the residents of remote Cape York communities.
Eligible residents at Iron Range and Lockhart River receive $200 off the advertised airfare, to help reduce the financial burden of travelling to Cairns and between communities. The Local Fare Scheme improves access to education, shopping and other essential services, while also strengthening social, family, and cultural connections. The scheme also reduces the isolation experienced by people living in remote areas.
Step 1 : We assist local residents to lodge the application form to become eligible for the scheme.
As a local resident, we need to provide proof to the State Government’s Passenger Transport Services Branch that we have lived in this remote area for 12 months to be eligible for the scheme. We help you do this!
Step 2. As your LFS agent, we book your ticket.
Call Sheree and Greg to make your booking for your subsidised airfare. Have your LFS approval number at hand when you make the booking.
Remember: The cost of the fare is calculated by the airline at $200 off the cheapest fare still available on the flight you want to go on. Skytrans Australia has a limited number of “Deal” priced seats available on each flight; so be early to book, get your cheap flight, and then enjoy the service and comfort on the Dash 8.
