Nauru Airlines increases its services

In a statement, a spokesperson for the carrier said it is adding Palau to its weekly "island hopper" route.

From November 30, the weekly flights will depart Brisbane on Thursday night, travelling each Friday via Nauru, Tarawa, Majuro and Pohnpei to Palau.

The return flight from Palau departs on Saturday.

Nauru Airlines Chair Dr Kieren Keke said he hopes it will reduce the isolation Pacific nations experience.

The flights had been every two weeks since the resumption of regular service in October. Air Nauru has resumed the only air service that connects Brisbane to Honiara, Nauru, Tarawa, Majuro and Pohnpei.

Marianas Variety reports in addition to going weekly, this island hopper will shift from its current Sunday arrival to being a Thursday-Friday service, according to the airline.
