"Unfortunately we've had to suspend our Wagga-Melbourne flights due to a temporary change in aircraft availability at Melbourne that impacts our Wagga schedule," a QantasLink spokesperson said.
Qantas has confirmed the Adelaide-Albury flights use aircraft based out of South Australia and is therefore not impacted by the shortages which saw the Wagga route temporarily scrapped.
The company said there are no changes to plans for the Wagga-Melbourne flights to return in March 2023.
