‘We expect the fares to sell out quickly so we are encouraging travellers to get in early to make the most of the sale,’ Velocity Frequent Flyer CEO and Japan Services Representative, Nick Rohrlach said.

‘We know that Cairns has consistently ranked as one of the most popular tourist destinations among Japanese visitors to Australia and we are thrilled to unlock a new convenient gateway for Japanese travellers.’

Mr Rohrlach said the airline would also provide Japanese food on board the Cairns to Haneda flight which includes a Japanese bento box, pan fried pork dumplings and miso soup on the menu.
