Adelaide Airport welcomes Jetstar direct flights to Sunshine Coast

Friday May 13, 2016

Adelaide Airport has welcomed Jetstar’s announcement today that it will fly direct between

Adelaide and the Sunshine Coast from September this year.

The new services, the first direct flights between Adelaide and the Sunshine Coast since

2008, will operate three times a week from 30 September 2016 in time for the SA school

holidays.

The new Jetstar route out of Adelaide is the second to be introduced in the past six months,

with Adelaide-Avalon (Melbourne) flights having started in March this year.

Jetstar’s new flights represent over 56,000 additional seats between Adelaide and

Maroochydore each year.

Adelaide Airport Managing Director, Mark Young, said it was really pleasing to see Jetstar

continue to expand its network out of Adelaide.

“South Australians will now be able to easily access popular holiday destinations such as

Noosa, Maroochydore and Mooloolooba,” Mr Young said.

“We also expect there will be plenty of Sunshine Coast residents who will want to experience

what Adelaide has to offer including our world class wine and seafood, and natural

experiences such as Kangaroo Island.

“The service will also connect the significant number of friends and families who live in the

two regions.”

Return services between Adelaide and the Sunshine Coast will be operated using Jetstar’s

180-seat airbus A320 aircraft on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Jetstar is offering a special one way fare on select services to launch the new service.
