Jetstar’s new daily A320 service, to operate through the carrier’s expanding international and domestic hub in Darwin, will provide one stop and highly competitive access to Bali from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
The services will complement Jetstar’s existing direct long haul services to Bali from Sydney (4 times weekly) and Melbourne (2 times weekly) with its fleet of two class A330-200 aircraft.
Jetstar will also expand Brisbane-Darwin domestic frequencies from 6 to 13 times weekly, adding a new daylight service between both cities.
The new services will expand Jetstar’s Darwin hub operations to 69 weekly domestic and international services out of Darwin with its single class fleet of 177 seat A320s.
Jetstar Group General Manager Commercial Bruce Buchanan said as the largest Australian airline serving the Bali market, the new low fare services were a response to the island’s recovery of its tourism industry.
“Future Jetstar services to Bali from Darwin and commencing from Perth on October 27 will enable us to further grow our Australian services into South East Asia including Bali, whilst also building on Jetstar’s expanding pan Asian network."
Mr Buchanan said the new Jetstar services will offer a Qantas code share in line with existing Jetstar international and domestic flights.
