Jetstar is expanding its Adelaide network by reintroducing flights to Melbourne Avalon Airport, offering promotional fares starting at $29. The airline will resume flights from 26 March 2026, providing South Australian travellers with a convenient, affordable gateway to Victoria.
The low-cost carrier plans to operate up to seven weekly return flights on this route, adding about 109,000 new low-fare seats annually. This service reconnects South Australia with Victoria’s Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, and Geelong. Jetstar will use Airbus A320 aircraft to operate the flights, a service last available before the pandemic.
To celebrate the relaunch, Jetstar is offering one-way fares starting at $29, available from 11:30am (ACDT) today. This limited-time offer matches launch prices from over 20 years ago and is expected to be popular with travellers.
Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully said, “These new flights to Melbourne Avalon Airport provide South Australians with greater opportunities to take advantage of our low fares and are part of a significant increase in flights in and out of Adelaide this year.”
“It’s now easier and more affordable than ever to access Victoria’s popular Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula wine region, Geelong and Melbourne,” she added.
Overall, this route reinstatement enhances travel options between South Australia and Victoria, supporting tourism and regional connectivity.
