Jetstar to Begin International Flights from Avalon Airport
Jetstar, the low-cost airline owned by Qantas, will launch its first international service from Avalon Airport. The new route to Bali will commence on March 23, marking a strategic expansion tied to fleet upgrades.
Fleet Enhancements and Network Expansion
The airline is installing crew rest areas on its planes, enabling longer flights and expanding its route network. This development offers significant network benefits for its parent company, Qantas.
Focus on Melbourne’s Western Suburbs
Jetstar aims to tap into the growing population of Melbourne’s western suburbs, which now extend to Geelong, by providing new international travel options directly from Avalon.
“Avalon Airport is set to launch its first international flights after Jetstar said it would start a new service to Bali and signalled more destinations could follow as it upgrades its fleet.”
Additional Opportunities
Jetstar has indicated that other international destinations may be added in the future as it continues to enhance its capabilities and capitalize on emerging market demands.
