Jetstar Restores International Flights to Avalon
Jetstar will resume international flights from Avalon Airport for the first time since early 2020, launching new services to Bali starting next March. This marks a significant expansion for the low-cost carrier at Avalon.
New and Expanded Routes
- Bali flights will operate five times per week beginning 23 March on Jetstar’s A321neo LR aircraft.
- The Avalon-Adelaide service will be restored with up to seven weekly flights from 26 March.
- Brisbane flights will increase by up to five flights per week.
Jetstar CEO on the Expansion
"This is a massive step forward for Jetstar at Melbourne Avalon Airport. We’re launching two new routes and adding more seat capacity than ever before," said Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully.
"Whether it’s a family holiday in Bali or a weekend away in Adelaide or Brisbane, these services give Victorians even more options to take off more, for less."
"This investment will see thousands more customers fly through Melbourne’s second airport gateway, supporting the economic growth of Melbourne, Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula."
"I want to thank the Victorian Government, Melbourne Avalon Airport and Adelaide Airport for their support of low fares travel."
Impact on Avalon Airport
With this expansion, more than 330,000 additional seats will be available annually to and from Avalon Airport. CEO Ari Suss noted the benefits for both residents and tourists in the region.
Summary
Jetstar's return of international flights and increased domestic capacity at Avalon Airport will significantly improve travel options and boost economic growth in Victoria's surrounding regions.
