Slated for the weekend of 18 and 19 November, the Air Force Newcastle Williamtown Air Show 2023 will feature flying displays over Newcastle beaches and rivers on the Saturday, followed by a ticketed ground display at RAAF Base Williamtown on the Sunday.

Qantas and Air New Zealand have come out against the price rises, which will see charges for domestic jet travel to and from Auckland go from NZ$6.75 to $15.45 by FY27, regional airline charges go from NZ$4.40 to $10.70 by FY27, and international charges go from NZ$23.40 to $46.10 by FY27.

An ATSB report into the incident revealed that during the flight the crew descended from 34,000 ft to 28,000 ft due to turbulence, but that resulted in the aircraft using more fuel than planned. A fuel mayday was declared to secure a priority landing.

WSI will see up to 10 Jetstar and five Qantas narrow-body aircraft within the first year, operating more than 25,000 flights carrying around four million passengers per annum to destinations including Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
