- The new Bali service will operate five times weekly from 23 March using Jetstar’s A321neo LR aircraft.
- The Avalon to Adelaide route will resume with up to seven weekly flights beginning 26 March.
- Brisbane flights from Avalon will increase by up to five weekly departures.
Jetstar’s Expansion Vision
“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.”
Local Economic Impact
Jetstar’s expansion will add over 330,000 seats annually to and from Avalon Airport. According to Avalon Airport CEO Ari Suss, the growth will benefit both residents and tourists in the region.
