The flight takes about 25 to 30 minutes. The two towns are roughly 200 km apart in western Queensland. Rex or QantasLink operates the sector as a stop on longer outback routes rather than a standalone service.
Rex (Regional Express) and QantasLink operate services in western Queensland that stop at both Blackall and Longreach as part of multi-stop routes. Dedicated point-to-point service between just these two towns is limited. The sector is often part of a Brisbane-Longreach-Blackall or similar milk run pattern using Saab 340 or Dash 8 aircraft.
The drive takes about 2 hours on the Capricorn Highway through flat pastoral country. The road is sealed and well maintained. Most locals drive between the two towns. Flying makes sense if you are already on an air itinerary connecting to Brisbane or other Queensland cities and the sector happens to be part of your routing.
Longreach is home to the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and the Qantas Founders Museum, which houses a retired 747 and 707. Qantas was founded in the Longreach-Winton area in 1920. The town has a population of about 3,000 and serves as a service centre for the surrounding cattle stations.
Blackall is a small outback town of about 1,500 people in central western Queensland. It is famous for the Black Stump, a historical surveying marker that entered Australian idiom. The town serves the surrounding sheep and cattle pastoral industry. The Blackall Woolscour, a heritage-listed steam-powered wool washing facility, is the main attraction.

Blackall to Longreach: Western Queensland Outback Hop

BKQ-LRE is a short 200 km sector in western Queensland, taking about 25 to 30 minutes by air. Rex and QantasLink serve both towns as stops on longer multi-sector routes connecting to Brisbane. Dedicated point-to-point flights are limited. The sector typically uses Saab 340 or Dash 8 turboprops as part of outback milk runs through central Queensland.

The 2 hour drive on the Capricorn Highway is how most people travel between the two towns. Longreach is the larger centre, known for the Qantas Founders Museum and the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame. Blackall is a smaller pastoral town with about 1,500 residents. Both towns sit in the heart of Queensland's cattle and sheep country. For visitors on an outback itinerary, flying into Longreach from Brisbane and driving to Blackall (or vice versa) is a common way to structure a trip.
