Jetstar Brings Back International Flights to Avalon

Jetstar will relaunch international services from Avalon Airport next March, marking the return of overseas flights for the first time since early 2020. The low-cost airline is expanding significantly with new routes, additional frequencies, and increased capacity.

New and Restored Routes

Flights from Avalon to Bali begin on 23 March, operating five times per week using the A321neo LR aircraft.
The Avalon–Adelaide route resumes on 26 March with up to seven flights per week.
Additional services to Brisbane will be added, increasing by up to five per week.

Jetstar Leadership Statement

“This is a massive step forward for Jetstar at Melbourne Avalon Airport. We’re launching two new routes and adding more seat capacity than ever before,” said Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully.

“Whether it’s a family holiday in Bali or a weekend away in Adelaide or Brisbane, these services give Victorians even more options to take off more, for less.”

“This investment will see thousands more customers fly through Melbourne’s second airport gateway, supporting the economic growth of Melbourne, Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula. I want to thank the Victorian Government, Melbourne Avalon Airport and Adelaide Airport for their support of low fares travel.”

Economic and Regional Impact

The expansion will add more than 330,000 seats annually to and from Avalon. According to Avalon Airport CEO Ari Suss, the growth will benefit both local residents and incoming visitors, strengthening tourism and regional connectivity.
