Jetstar has today announced an expansion of their God Coast network with new service to Hamilton and Dunedin in New Zealand from June 2025. Both routes will operate three times per week, creating over 115,000 new low-fare seats.
On Monday (September 16, 2024), Jetstar announced that starting June 2025, they will launch new service from Gold Coast to Hamilton and Dunedin in New Zealand. This marks the first time the carrier will service Hamilton, giving Queenslanders a second gateway to New Zealand’s North Island, and convenient access to popular holiday hotspots such as Rotorua, the Bay of Plenty and Hobbiton. Likewise, the new service between Gold Coast and Dunedin will enhance access to the South Island’s second largest city. In support of the new routes, Jetstar will base an additional aircraft at Gold Coast, expanding the local fleet to six.
In Monday’s announcement, Jetstar Group’s CEO, Stephanie Tully, said,
“Tourism is a key industry on the Gold Coast and the new agreement with Queensland Airports will support the growth of inbound tourism and provide a big boost to local operators. It’s also great news for customers, with the new routes unlocking more than 115,000 new low fares seats a year between the Gold Coast and Hamilton and Dunedin, while helping to connect the city’s large population of Kiwi ex-pats to their home country. We thank the Queensland Government and Queensland Airports for their ongoing support of low fares travel across the Sunshine State.”
Also commenting on the added New Zealand routes, Queensland Airports Limited’s CEO, Amelia Evans, said,
“New Zealand is Australia’s largest international visitor market, so it makes sense for us to increase our Trans-Tasman connectivity. We’re proud that we’ll be Australia’s most connected airport to New Zealand. These services are expected to deliver over 115,000 passengers annually to the Gold Coast, connecting the city to Dunedin for the first time and re-establishing the airport’s first ever Tasman route, to Hamilton.”
Launched in in 2004, Jetstar Airways is wholly owned by the Qantas Group, and has to date carried over 350 million passengers, operating in Australia and New Zealand. The Jetstar Group also includes Jetstar Asia in Singapore and Jetstar Japan. A low-cost carrier, Jetstar is committed to offering everyday low fares to enable more people to fly to more places.
