We were recently on a Geraldton to Perth Flight which was slightly delayed - the Captain and crew were amazing at assisting my husband & I to get to Perth and onto our connecting flight to Esperance. We can not thank all the crew who helped us make our next flight. Thanks again Melisa Show details
Late departure again, no communication or updates. Same food every single flight for money charged good thing big airlines have left them slice of cake would not be able to hold their own. Show details
I flew Nexus for the first time at the end of February between Broome and Karratha for work. I had heard my colleague's positive feedback about their experiences so I was looking forward to the experience, especially being my first time on a prop plane. Everyone I dealt with from reservations, the ground staff and the air crew were genuine,… Read more
friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The seats were pretty much the same size as what you'd expect in a jet and even though I was sat next to the engine, it was nowhere near as noisey as I'd anticipated. The food served on board was fresh and delicious and I came away from the whole experience with a huge level of respect and appreciation for the airline and it's staff. I'll absolutely chose Nexus first if the choice is available and I hope the company appreciates how much of an asset their staff is. Thanks again.

The best crew of any airline I have ever flown! – I had the best time flying from Broome the customer service was excellent and really shows the crew are passionate about the customer and very well trained. The food was the best I have ever had and my whole experience was well above my exaptation's and miles ahead of the other airline that flies on this sector. The aircraft are very clean, and seats are very comfortable. I will fly Nexus again for sure! Show details

Nexus Airlines the only way to fly – I am a frequent traveler by air for business at 3 to 4 times per month. Nexus Airlines entering the Mid West with their services has been a game changer for me personally and for improved business and leisure travel for our region. To have a WA owned and run service that connects us to Perth and to the Pilbara is a key to positive economic… Read more
development for us and the wider of regional WA. Personally, a frequent double daily service schedule provides me an efficient choice of schedule from Geraldton to Perth and back in a day to be home in reasonable time to spend my evening with family. Nexus’s commitment to service that is reliable and on time, provides me confidence in planning my business appointments. Their customer service is outstanding and consistent. In speaking to the cabin crew the local employment offered by Nexus has offered opportunities that may never been a career pathway choice for some without them having to leave the region. Nexus Airlines delivers a seamless end to end experience from either booking online, or speaking to their call centre; to traveling on the planes with the cabin crew and pilots. I feel that Nexus has built a strong ownership identity with their team too as the service at all levels is professional with authentic delivery in their customer service. As a person who is committed to reducing my carbon footprint as much as possible, I was impressed with their choice of planes for our short routes with the very modern Dash 8 – Q 400 which has low C02 emissions. The planes are always kept immaculate with comfortable seats and plenty of head and leg room. The cabin experience with WA fresh produce supporting our regional businesses delivers an all-round positive flying experience. They have my 100% support.
Time and Space – As someone who lives in a remote town, I am used to flights not leaving on time. I have been very impressed with Nexus' ability to get their flights out on schedule. Their customer service agents answer the calls promptly and are very knowledgeable. Clean and comfortable aircraft, lovely light breakfasts for the morning flight and roomy seats. The… Read more
best part is that we now have more choice when and where to fly in regional WA. The flight from Broome to Kununurra is so scenic you don't need inflight entertainment.
Highly recommended especially for families – I’ve now flown twice with Nexus return and each time I’ve preferred to use the phone service to book and they didn’t mind at all. All the flights were on time and shorter in length so I have no complaints! During the flight they brought round some yummy FRESHLY made yoghurts that were to die for and the kids got to have an extra piece of fruit… Read more
when the lovely staff overheard my kids say they were starving on a late flight back to Geraldton. The attention to detail, friendly but professional service they provide knocks out the competition. When I get the option to I will always fly with this company.

I booked flights from Perth to Geraldton/return same day. Day before my flights Nexus advised via sms that my return flight would be delayed by 4 hours which no longer fitted into my plans. I had to cancel my planned business day in Geraldton and needed to request a refund. I was changed a cancellation fee of $70 even though this circumstance was… Read more
not my fault. Next day, I called Nexus to follow up on receipt of the refund and told would take 3 to 5 business days to be credited back to the same account. I asked for any reason for the delay and the blame was passed on to the bank? I cannot understand how Nexus can process a debit to my bank account immediately on purchase of their product, however processing a direct credit back to the same account would take 3-5 business days, laying blame blaming the bank does not make sense. I am unable to identify in the Terms and Conditions or website any policy in relation to time-frame for processing/providing refunds. I feel charging a fee of $70 given the cancellation was not of my choice and withholding my refund for flights for up to a week is unreasonable and totally unfair!. I believe Nexus customers should not be disadvantaged from waiting unnecessarily for funds to be received back into the same bank account and within a reasonable timeframe.
Just flew from Kununurra to Darwin with Nexus Airlines and I have to say – absolutely faultless experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly and helpful, check-in was smooth, and the flight actually left on time – something that feels like a miracle if you’ve ever had to rely on Airnorth! The aircraft was clean and comfortable, and… Read more
the whole experience felt professional and well-run. It’s clear these guys take pride in their service and actually care about their passengers.
Compared to Airnorth, which has been nothing but delays, cancellations, and vague excuses every time I’ve flown with them, Nexus is a breath of fresh air. Airnorth has been unreliable to the point where it’s hard to plan anything around them – not to mention the poor customer service and lack of accountability when things go wrong.
Nexus is proving that regional travel can be done right. I’ll be flying with them again without hesitation, and I’d recommend anyone in the Top End or Kimberley region do the same.
Support local aviation - you will not regret it! – I have flown with Nexus from Geraldton return several times now and believe their service is excellent! Flights are always on time and reliable, several updates are given in relation to upcoming flights via text in a timely manner (e.g. I received a text 24 hours before my flight indicating it would go ahead despite issues with the refueling at… Read more
Perth Airport a few weeks ago). The aircrafts are spacious and modern, staff are friendly and accommodating, and inflight service is great. Nexus makes an effort to include elements that heed to value and support of community and local business, which is a nice touch! e.g use local produce and food suppliers in the food they serve, include artwork of locally based children on their cups etc. Their customer service is also excellent, I required a flight change on the resident fare scheme and this was sorted in a matter of minutes without charge. Unless you really want to/need to use your Qantas points, boycott flying with Qantas (impersonable and unreliable) and make sure you fly with Nexus!!

shout out to Jane!??? Call this afternoon. Jane helps me rebooking made us so easily done! kind & helpful service. that's WAY we use nexus all the time. thank you for school prom!!! Show details
My international flight was delayed so then just missed my connecting Nexus flight and was stuck in Perth overnight. I left a message on their phone number and they rang me first thing in the morning and got me on the next AM Nexus flight home. Excellent service and so helpful Show details
On time and much more reliable than Qantas – On time. As someone who lives in Geraldton and works in Perth, Nexus has been a game changer. Nice early flight down Monday, nice late flight back Friday, and where they can control the cause, they are on time. Twelve flights so far, two late (15 mins and 30 mins) with both late flights caused by Perth airport. Show details

If your thinking about booking with nexus… Don’t, my flight got delayed 4 hours and then on top of that we were supposed to be in the air at 7:40pm and I’m currently still sitting in the terminal at 7:50 Show details
Poor attempt as an airplane provider – Delayed flights without notice. Not servicing the Pilbara at optimal times (up Tuesday down Wednesday) then ask for govt handouts for millions of dollars. Show details
Same as the others – This airline are no different from the major carriers.. Theyre all about connecting the regions, but they obviously either dont treat their staff well enough or have decent planes because my flight was cancelled and i ended up stranded. Unlike with Qantas, the process was a joke, we found out more info from the people at the airport then the… Read more
airline ever told us, they barely contacted us and then when they did it was excuse after excuse. Just a bunch of false advertising

Affordable regional airline - Friendly and helpful staff, would definitely fly again with Nexus – We flew from.Kununurra to Darwin. Great airline. We would use them again. Friendly Staff, from check in and on the plane. Plane was clean, in house snacks were yummy, seats were comfortable and our bags were ready to pick up as soon as we're in the baggage haul. Fares were reasonable compared to other airlines - it was great to have some competition. Show details
Great airline. Definitely will use them again. Clean, efficient in all areas and friendly – Very efficient and comfortable journey. Easy check in, friendly staff, they even provided a delicious snack and drink on a 1 hour flight from Darwin to Kununurra. The leg room was good and the aircraft new and clean. Luggage arrived within 5 minutes of exiting the aircraft. We will definitely fly with them again if we are in their part of Australia. Show details
Bringing Luxury Back to Regional Travel – Nexus Airlines brings a little luxury back to regional commuting. With attentive, friendly staff, locally sourced fresh snacks, a 'giving back to the community' philosophy and a sustainable focus, it was a pleasure to fly across Western Australia with this new airline. I'd do it again in a heart beat. Show details
Best airline in Australia – I have flown to the Kimberley many times to visit family but this was my first time flying with Nexus. I was so impressed with the service and aircraft. A very pleasant experience. The crew were so friendly and the seating was comfortable with plenty of legroom, much more than some of the larger aircraft I have flown on. I highly recommend Nexus and they will be my only choice when booking flights to the Kimberley. Show details
Flight experience made the holiday even better – We flew nexus airlines between Darwin and Broome in June 2024 for our honeymoon. We were lucky enough to get fares on a sale. To be honest, I was a bit worried about trying a new airline and didn't know if it would eventuate. But it was great! We were able to rearrange our travel dates by talking to someone. The flight was during the day, we had… Read more
great, simple, food on the plane, an easy stopover in Kununurra. It was so nice to have the flight add to the trip, not just be a stressful part of getting to the location. Also, amazing to have a regional route option other than having to go through another major city/airline hub.
Thanks Nexus - see you again soon! – I've now flown with Nexus a few times, and every time it has been fantastic. Easy to book with convenient timings for flights (I've flown Broome / Kununurra / Darwin routes). The flights have always run on time, planes are comfortable, clean and great food with excellent customer service and friendly, local staff! Best of all the prices have been… Read more
amazing. It can be so expensive living in remote WA and this is such a fabulous service for all - keep up the great work.

10/10 for Nexus! – LOVE Nexus! This airline has been a game-changer for us Kununurra locals, especially to travel over to the East Coast. The staff are always so friendly and the inflight snacks are delicious, especially the caramel ice-cream! Show details
First choice in the future – Booking process was easy and clear, flying from Broome to Darwin via Kununarra, about a 2hour flight and change. This was the most space I've had in the last 20 years of flying which was amazing, flying with my partner and so comfortable. The food was delicious and we were offered different snacks on both legs of the journey which broke up the… Read more
flight nicely :) The staff were warm and welcoming. I am a frequent flyer but this was my first time with Nexus. Would absolutely book them by preference in the future and I'm so glad we have this incredible, reliable and well-priced service available! Thank you Nexus!
Nexus - really are connecting us throughout Western Australia! – Having lived in the Kimberley region for thirty years, Nexus arriving on our aviation scene has been like a breath of fresh air. The flight offerings are at convenient times, their service is exceptional, booking a flight is easy online or when you call and the inflight catering is fresh and delicious. I am fortunate to also now be flying with… Read more
Nexus within the Pilbara region and the convenience is terrific - why lose 2.5-3hrs of work time in the car when you can fly from Karratha to Hedland in 40 mins?
Nexus exceeding expectations in Northern Australia! – Can't speak more highly of the friendly service, reliability and overall excellence of Nexus! I have flown with them a handful of times now, all of which have been punctual and very comfortable. A standout flight was over the Easter break where there were multiple children on board - the cabin crew went above and beyond accommodating all,… Read more
including serving delicious hot cross buns and easter eggs! Nexus is a game changer for travelling in and out of the remote Kimberely region.
Awesome! – Staff are fantastic, flights on time and service was amazing. Flew from Broome to Darwin and return. Fabulous service both ways. Staff very attentive, especially to me who was a first time flyer in a smaller plane. Will definately fly NEXUS again in the future. Show details
Nexus Airlines put other regional airlines to shame! – I have flown with Nexus several times between Broome, Kununurra and Darwin and they are such a breath of fresh air! All of my flights have either been on time or early, the customer service is second to none, the food served is amazing (especially the icecream!) and the planes are very comfortable and modern. The booking service on the website… Read more
is very user friendly and just in case Nexus needed to be any more appealing, they also often offer discounts and promotions to make flying with them even more affordable! Nexus are always my first choice now - we are so lucky to have them providing service to our region.
Nexus is best, chuck out the rest! – Nexus makes flying so easy and enjoyable. All the staff are friendly and greet you with a smile. The food onboard is delicious and the artwork on the cups from school kids across regional WA is genius! Flying around regional WA is so simple with Nexus. SMS reminders, great promos throughout the year and an easy booking process puts them worlds… Read more
above other airline services. If you're looking to get away and travel somewhere off the beaten track-do it with Nexus!
Great flight with Nexus between Perth and Geraldton – I flew from Perth to Geraldton and back in a day. Very comfortable flight with friendly crew. Flight time was about an hour and because the Dash-8 Q400 flies at a lower altitude there was a beautiful view of Perth, Rottnest and the coastline on the way out and the Perth Hills on the way back. Great food - a croissant, muesli and fruit in the… Read more
morning and a lamington, ice cream and fruit in the afternoon. Would definitely fly again and recommend over the larger airlines.
Exceptional service – Flew home to Geraldton from hospital in Perth where I had surgery; with my husband today. We were looked after by Deb and Sue their service was exceptional, even checking how I was after meal service. The local fare are good value and service exceptional. Nexus is our only choice for flights Show details
Punctual & Efficient with a friendly approach – Check in opened and ready to go promptly, flight boarded efficiently, hot drinks and food (yummy pancakes) all in an hours flight. We were taking off the ground at exactly the scheduled time, with luggage disembarked quickly. Polite, punctual and friendly airline that is super cost effective. BRILLIANT!!! Show details
Excellent service – Amazing service on the Geraldton to Perth route. Complementary food and drinks, fresh and not out of a plastic packet! The lady behind me had a baby with her and the staff offered to look after the bub if she needed to use the toilet. Staff are so friendly and caring. Coildnt recommend more highly. Show details
Staff were amazing and friendly Loved the scone and ice cream Smooth flight Will definitely use this service again Show details
