Jetstar to Launch International Flights from Avalon
Jetstar, the low-cost airline and Qantas subsidiary, will begin international services from Avalon Airport, starting with flights to Bali on March 23. This move reflects an effort to tap into the growing Melbourne western suburbs and Geelong region.
Fleet Upgrade and Network Expansion
The airline is upgrading its planes with crew rest areas, enabling longer flights and expanding network opportunities for Qantas. Additional international destinations may be introduced in the future as part of this expansion.
Strategic Growth Focus
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.
This initiative aims to take advantage of the rising population and demand in Melbourne's western suburbs, which now extend to Geelong.
