Tags :South Pacific, Jetstar


The Hon Anthony Albanese MP released (17-Mar-09) the following statement in regards to Jetstar reinstating Cairns-Osaka flights:

“I welcome today's announcement by Jetstar that it will reinstate direct flights between Cairns and Osaka in December.

“The reintroduction of this service will provide a significant boost for Far North Queensland's tourism industry, particularly given the difficult times it has experienced in recent years.

“In fact only yesterday I met with the general manager of Cairns Airport and representatives from Tourism Tropical North Queensland to discuss future opportunities for local businesses and tourism operators.

“Jetstar's decision is a vote of confidence in the future of the Australian aviation and tourism industries.

Japan is one of this nation's largest sources of tourists.  Last year alone, more than half a million Japanese visited Australia.”
