regional international gateway&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This means the restrictions on the number of flights by international carriers have been lifted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, Federal Infrastructure Minister Darren Chester officially announced the Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport, Toowoomba, is now classified as a regional international gateway under Australia\u2019s air services arrangements,\u201d Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is great news for Maranoa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we\u2019ve got an official international airport just down the road, opening up huge potential for expansion as Maranoa products can go directly from the Darling Downs across to Asia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust last month, Cathay Pacific announced it would commence regular freight services from Toowoomba to Hong Kong \u2013 which is a great first step \u2013 but this announcement now means international airlines will be able to service Wellcamp without restrictions applying to the number of frequencies that can be operated between the airport and overseas destinations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis decision means producers, manufacturers and other businesses can reap the rewards of a localised freight service, opening the door to more easily sell fresh produce in the growing Asian market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaranoa businesses could also benefit from greater opportunities in tourism and trade and I\u2019m just so excited as to what this means for the prosperity for our region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a
