Jetstar to Launch International Flights from Avalon Airport
Jetstar, the low-cost airline under Qantas, is preparing to begin international flights from Avalon Airport. Starting March 23, the airline will offer a new route to Bali, with the possibility of adding more destinations as it upgrades its fleet.
Fleet Upgrades and Network Expansion
Jetstar is enhancing its aircraft with crew rest areas, enabling longer flights. This upgrade is expected to provide greater network benefits for its parent company, Qantas.
Strategic Move to Melbourne’s Western Suburbs
The decision to operate out of Avalon aims to tap into the growing population of Melbourne's expansive western suburbs, which now reach as far as Geelong.
"Qantas’ low-cost subsidiary will start flying from Avalon to Bali on March 23 as it looks to capitalise on growth in Melbourne’s sprawling western suburbs."
