The Queensland Government says it will meet Virgin Airlines early in the new year to discuss regional routes.
The airline and local government authorities have raised concerns about the lack of competition on routes including Cairns to Weipa and Brisbane to Roma.
Exclusive contracts with QantasLink on those routes and several others were recently extended until the end of 2014.
A spokeswoman for Tourism Minister Jann Stuckey says she has scheduled a meeting with Virgin Australia to discuss regional flights in the new year.
