Monday, 16 September 2024: Jetstar will significantly expand its Gold Coast network, offering new direct flights to Hamilton and Dunedin in New Zealand from June 2025.
Both new services will take off three times a week, creating more than 115,000 new low fares seats every year across the Tasman and providing a multi-million-dollar boost to the Gold Coast’s tourism industry.
It will be the first time Jetstar has flown to the city of Hamilton, giving Queenslanders a second gateway to the North Island and convenient access to holiday hot spots like Rotorua, the Bay of Plenty and Hobbiton.
The new service between the Gold Coast and Dunedin will boost access to the South Island’s second largest city and provide more options for people to road trip across New Zealand by flying into one part of the country and out of another on Jetstar’s network.
To support the new services, Jetstar will base an additional aircraft on the Gold Coast from June 2025 – bringing the airline’s local fleet to six.
Today’s announcement follows the signing of a seven-year agreement between the Qantas Group and Queensland Airports, which will support future growth for both Jetstar and Qantas and lead to more flights and low fares for Queenslanders.
In addition to the new services from the Gold Coast, Jetstar has also announced another new trans-Tasman route from Sydney to Hamilton, which will also take off from June 2025 and create more than 75,000 new low fares seats every year.
