Jetstar launched (03-Dec-08) a daily Brisbane-Darwin-Denpasar (Bali) flight. Jetstar Chief Executive Officer Bruce Buchanan said, “Jetstar passengers departing Brisbane on our new daily service can now travel through Darwin to Bali on our every day, low fares.”
Jetstar’s new daily A320 service from Brisbane, which departs from its domestic operations at Brisbane Airport to connect through the airline’s international hub in Darwin, is in addition to Jetstar’s existing flights to Denpasar (Bali) from Perth (three times weekly, growing to four times weekly from 17-Dec-08) and existing two class A330-200 services from Sydney (four times weekly) and Melbourne (two times weekly).
Buchanan added, “This new service also opens up opportunities for Queenslanders to continue their journey to a range of other international destinations. From Darwin, Jetstar also offers international services to Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City.”
The Darwin-Denpasar route marks the introduction of Jetstar’s third international service from Darwin in addition to existing A320 services to Singapore (double daily) and Ho Chi Minh City (five times weekly), in its goal to establish Darwin as a strategic transport hub into near Asia.
Mr Buchanan said, “Visitation trends continue to show Bali as a growing destination. So far this year, more than 260,000 Australians have visited, marking an increase of almost 60 per cent compared to last year.”
“Our latest international route will also maintain Jetstar as the fastest growing international carrier, and top five airline by market share, in the Australian market.”
Jetstar’s new Brisbane-Darwin-Denpasar service will operate as a domestic to international connecting flight through Darwin with passengers departing from Jetstar’s domestic facility at Brisbane Airport, checking in once for the flight through to Denpasar (Bali).
Jetstar also flies from Brisbane direct to Melbourne Avalon, Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide, Cairns, Whitsunday Coast, Hamilton Island, Mackay, Townsville and Rockhampton, in addition to domestic services between Brisbane-Darwin.
