Jetstar launches Melbourne-Sydney services
By a staff reporter
Qantas Airlines Ltd's budget offshoot Jetstar has launched its new Melbourne to Sydney flight, with a five times daily return A320 service.
"The inaugural services have been well-supported by the Australian travelling public with all flights operating on Jetstar’s new route today completely sold-out," Jetstar said in a statement.
Jetstar chief executive Bruce Buchanan said the new service would add to the Qantas Group's existing high-frequency full service CityFlyer offering on the Melbourne to Sydney route.
“While we expect Jetstar’s new Melbourne-Sydney services to be strongly supported by flyers seeking the lowest fares between Australia’s two largest capitals, Qantas will importantly continue to maintain its high frequency premium offering on the route.”
“For the year ending June 2009, Melbourne-Sydney remained Australia’s busiest route with a total of 6.81 million passengers.”
Jetstar will operate its low fare services between Terminal 1 (Qantas Domestic) at Melbourne Airport and Terminal 2 at Sydney Airport.
