The airline that is soon to begin services to the New South Wales Snowy Mountains will fly Olympian Torah Bright to the area tomorrow for a big celebration.

Aeropelican has taken over the daily Sydney to Cooma flight after Regional Express pulled out of the service two years ago.

The airline will fly the winter gold-medallist and her family to Snowy Mountains Airport tomorrow morning, in time for a parade at Cooma.

The newly-elected Mayor of the Cooma-Monaro Shire, Dean Lynch, says he encourages the community to attend the event.

“If they get there to cheer on the athletes, it should be a sight to be seen so if everyone, the whole town and anyone that wants to be here can be there then, I’m sure they’re going to get a treat,” he said.
