Jetstar is to begin three times weekly direct flights between Adelaide and the Sunshine Coast from September 30, the Qantas-owned low-cost carrier announced on Friday.
The new flights will operate with 180-seat Airbus A320s on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and add a further 56,000 seats a year into the Sunshine Coast market.
“Our strategy has been to diversify our market base as widely as possible, and the start of direct Jetstar services from Adelaide complements significant growth in direct services from Sydney, Melbourne and across the Tasman,” Visit Sunshine Coast acting CEO Simon Latchford said in a statement.
