Amid growing frustrations from passengers in country Western Australia, Qantas has announced it will offer return flight discounts of up to 30 per cent for people living in six regional centres.

The discounted fares scheme will be available to residents in Broome, Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Paraburdoo, Port Hedland and Newman from November.

Qantas CEO Andrew David said the announcement of the 12-month trial came after a rise in concerns about the cost of travel for those living in regional areas.

"We know the higher relative costs can be frustrating for residents when they need to travel, especially at short notice," he said.

"We are optimistic that the discount will stimulate additional demand, which will help us offset some of the cost of the scheme."

The discounts will apply to return Qantas flights only, with savings varying according to the type of fare purchased.

Passengers purchasing full economy fares will reap the highest saving, with a 30 per cent discount applied.

Discount economy or 'Red e-Deal' fares will be discounted by 10 per cent, while a 20 per cent saving will be applied to flexible fares.

But passengers are restricted to purchasing four discounted flights per year, and the airfares are only available for personal travel.

The discounts also apply to the Qantas-controlled component only so airport fees, security fees and GST may still apply.

"We have talked to both the airports and councils to ask them to waive their fees for those residents," Mr David said.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder residents already have an additional perk after the city council agreed to reduce airport passenger fees.

It means Kalgoorlie travellers could see a saving of $442 for return full economy fares after the airport discount is incorporated.

"We are inviting other airports to follow," Mr David said.

The discounted fare scheme will also be implemented on the east coast in Mount Isa for travel to Townsville and Brisbane, and in Cloncurry for flights to Townsville.
