To support the new routes, Jetstar will base an additional aircraft on the Gold Coast from June 2025. This will bring the airline’s local fleet at OOL Airport to six.
“Tourism is a key industry on the Gold Coast and the new agreement with Queensland Airports will support the growth of inbound tourism and provide a big boost to local operators,” Jetstar Group CEO, Stephanie Tully said in a statement.
“It’s also great news for customers, with the new routes unlocking more than 115,000 new low fares seats a year between the Gold Coast and Hamilton and Dunedin, while helping to connect the city’s large population of Kiwi expats to their home country,” Tully continued.
In addition to the new services from the Gold Coast, Jetstar has also announced another new Trans-Tasman route from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD) to Hamilton, which will also take off from June 2025
The three new Trans-Tasman routes will operate on the following schedules:
Dunedin – Gold Coast:
Hamilton – Gold Coast:
Hamilton – Sydney:
