Jetstar Group Chief Executive Officer Bruce Buchanan, who visited
Cairns today, said this growth of 8850 more weekly seats represented Jetstar’s
single largest injection of new domestic flying for Cairns.
“Jetstar will now be
at record operational capacity on Melbourne-Cairns and Sydney-Cairns
routes and complement Qantas on the largest Brisbane-Cairns market.
Through Jetstar’s low fares, customers are responding to make these routes
amongst Australia’s fastest growing air markets,” Mr Buchanan
said.
“Our commitment to building
to a daily Gold Coast-Cairns service will also better support inbound
international visitation.”’
In June 2010 compared to June 2009 passenger data from the Federal
Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) measured the
Melbourne and Sydney routes growing by 25 and 19 per cent respectively in
passenger numbers, displaying a Jetstar effect from prior growth.
From April 2011 Jetstar will offer 12 daily domestic return
services to Cairns and provide convenient and real connectivity to vital
international markets such as Japan and New Zealand on Jetstar.
Earlier this year Jetstar grew prior Cairns operations by 18 extra
weekly services introducing from Perth and more Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney
flights on Jetstar and a future direct Auckland service.
Mr Buchanan said Jetstar remained committed to offering the lowest
fares through the Jetstar Price Beat Guarantee* whereby the
airline will beat its competitors by 10 per cent.
