The Territory Labor Government through Tourism NT has partnered with Nexus Airlines to provide free flights for children this summer, boosting inbound visitation to the Top End from Broome, Kununurra, Karratha and Port Hedland.
The Kids Fly Free promotion is supported by Tourism NT and Tourism WA and is available on all Nexus routes across Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
The sale dates and travel period are from 15 December 2023 to 14 April 2024 and is valid for both one way and return flight bookings. A child must be aged 2 - 12 years of age and be travelling with a paying adult.
With the sale continuing until after Easter, families will be able to fly affordably together across two school holiday breaks. The offer allows families to have memorable holidays together and to embark on a family adventure in the NT.
In a win-win for the Territory, Territorians will also be able to access the deals with flights from the NT also on sale.
Nexus commenced flying to Darwin from the Kimberley in July of this year.
The sale will be supported by family friendly accommodation and experience packages, bookable through Tourism Top End.
To inspire bookings, the sale will be promoted in Broome and Kununurra across regional newspapers, radio, social media and digital advertising and through media publicity.

"The Territory continues to kick goals when it comes to securing flight options for Territorians.
"Off the back of Bonza coming to the Territory and Airnorth adding a new route from Central Australia to Perth, today's announcement gives Territory families access to more affordable travel options connecting regional Australia and remote centres across WA and the NT.
