GLOJetstar has launched its new service from Cairns to the Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore), marking the first time the low-cost carrier has operated the route.
The new service, which started yesterday, will operate up to four times a week, offering more than 71,000 low fares seats for travellers every year.
To coincide with the launch, Jetstar has one-way sale fares between Cairns and the Sunshine Coast from $69^ available at Jetstar.com until 11.59pm AEDT today, Wednesday 4 December.
Jetstar’s Executive Manager, Customer, Jenn Armor said the airline is excited to be offering more budget-friendly holiday options for customers in time for Christmas.
“Cairns and the Sunshine Coast are two of Australia’s most popular holiday destinations – with stunning beaches, swimming spots and scenery.
“These new flights are expected to be popular with both interstate and overseas tourists and we thank the Queensland Government, and the Sunshine Coast and Cairns airports for their ongoing support of low fares travel.
“Today’s launch is the start of an exciting fortnight for Jetstar, with the airline set to launch four new routes as its massive network growth continues.
“So far this year, Jetstar has sold more than 2 million seats for under $100 to and from the Sunshine State, helping more Queenslanders take off for less.”
Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Chris Mills welcomed the new service, highlighting its positive impact on Queensland’s tourism industry.
“This new route brings people closer together, providing families with an easy, affordable way to be together over the holiday season and beyond,” Mr Mills said.
“It supports Queensland’s tourism industry by connecting domestic and international travellers with two great destinations. This allows them to stay longer, spend more, and explore the regions.”
Cairns Airport CEO Richard Barker said Jetstar’s service to the Sunshine Coast would create new holiday options for a raft of travellers.
“While Cairns and the Sunshine Coast are both coastal, they’re quite different destinations offering unique, sought-after attractions.
“Jetstar’s new, direct flights mean visitors can enjoy the highlights of both regions easily and affordably, encompassing all of Queensland’s unforgettable experiences, from the Great Barrier Reef to exhilarating surf beaches.
“The new flights will also be ideal for those who travel often between our regions to visit relatives and friends.”
