Stephanie Tully, CEO of Jetstar Group, expressed enthusiasm about the significance of the new route for the airline.
This marks a significant milestone for Jetstar as we introduce our 100th domestic route with the launch of flights between Melbourne (Avalon) and Brisbane. This achievement has been made possible by adding our state-of-the-art NEO aircraft to our fleet.
Establishing a direct connection between Avalon and Brisbane will offer more travel options for Victorians seeking affordable journeys to Queensland while boosting tourism to the stunning Surf Coast region and its surroundings.
It’s been two decades since our inaugural flight, enabling more Australians to travel affordably, and with each opportunity, we’re thrilled to expand our network further.
