Jetstar’s Expansion at Avalon
“This is a massive step forward for Jetstar at Melbourne Avalon Airport. We’re launching two new routes and adding more seat capacity than ever before,” said Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully.
She emphasized that these new flight options allow Victorians to enjoy affordable travel for family holidays or weekend trips to Bali, Adelaide, or Brisbane.
Economic Impact and Support
“This investment will see thousands more customers fly through Melbourne’s second airport gateway, supporting the economic growth of Melbourne, Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula,” Tully added.
