Regional carrier Airnorth has commenced regular public transport (RPT) service from Brisbane West Wellcamp to Melbourne Tullamarine.

Flight TL130 departed Wellcamp just after 0715 on Monday morning, touching down at Melbourne about two hours later, according to flight tracking website FlightAware.

The Embraer E170 VH-ANT, which is configured with 76 seats, was on the ground at Melbourne for about an hour before returning as TL131.
