Jetstar has announced to expand operations to Perth by offering daily direct Perth-Adelaide and 3 times weekly Perth-Cairns A320 services. From 02-Feb-09 Jetstar will commence a daily return service between Perth and Adelaide boosting the Qantas Group capacity by 2,400 seats each week on the route, with Qantas maintaining existing 5 times daily return flights.

 

From 06-Feb-09 Jetstar will replace Qantas’ existing twice weekly B737 direct Perth - Cairns operation with a three times weekly A320 service boosting frequency and seat capacity on this route.
