Jetstar to Start International Flights Out of Avalon

The budget airline Jetstar is upgrading its aircraft with new crew rest areas, allowing it to operate longer routes and extend the benefits across the Qantas network.

Avalon Airport is preparing for its first international flights after Jetstar announced a new route to Bali, with further destinations expected as the airline modernizes its fleet.

Starting March 23, Qantas’ low-cost subsidiary will launch flights from Avalon to Bali, aiming to serve the rapidly growing western suburbs of Melbourne that now reach as far as Geelong.

“Avalon Airport is set to launch its first international flights after Jetstar said it would start a new service to Bali.”

Jetstar’s move aligns with broader network expansion goals, bringing more international travel options closer to Melbourne’s western corridor.
