Brisbane-based Alliance Airlines has launched its first scheduled commercial passenger routes, after success in the contract and charter flight provider. The airline completed its first trips out of Brisbane on Monday, flying to Gladstone, Bundaberg and Port Macquarie.
Passengers will be able to book one-way $59 fares between Brisbane and Bundaberg and Gladstone, as well as $69 seats to and from Port Macquarie. These prices include taxes, snacks and baggage.
These are pretty much Qantas (codeshare with regional partners) routes which are generally double the price. e.g. Brisbane-Gladstone is $129 on Qantas vs. $59 on Alliance (codeshare Virgin).

$59 flights from Bundaberg to Brisbane
The shift to alliance airlines is a bad bad move.
The product is terrible. It reminded me a lot of the Kam Air flight ai got flying domestically in Afghanistan.
So much so, that my regular work flights to Rocky, I am considering to jump over to the red kangaroo (if they status matched me, I would instantly).
