Avalon shuttle takes off in Wyndham

Wyndham jetsetters flying in and out of Avalon airport can now catch the bus to and from the tarmac … well, close enough.

An express Melbourne-to-Avalon shuttle service that will stop seven times a day in Werribee has been operating for a week.

Avalon airport chief executive Justin Giddings said the airport had struck a 10-year deal with SkyBus, which last week started meeting all Jetstar flights arriving and departing at Avalon.

The Avalon-Melbourne buses stop at the Werribee RSL in Synnot Street, Werribee.

Wyndham travellers can expect to pay $19 for a one-way ticket.

SkyBus director Michael Sewards said the new offerings would provide travellers with a regular and reliable service for each and every flight to and from Avalon.

“Connecting Victoria’s second airport with Melbourne will make domestic travel a lot easier for many Melburnians,” Mr Sewards said.

The new service comes almost a year after Cheap Tours Melbourne started offering a shuttle service between Melbourne airport and several Wyndham locations, including the D’Olive in Point Cook, Werribee Mansion, Wyndham Harbour Marina, and Comfort Inn, Best Western and Quest in Werribee and Sanctuary Lakes.
