Jetstar boosts Canberra seat capacity
Jetstar is adding nearly 20,000 seats on its the Canberra to Brisbane route this year, by deploying larger aircraft.
The low-cost airline will operate larger Airbus A321LR aircraft between Canberra and Brisbane from April to October this year, replacing its A320s on the route.
It will be the first time Jetstar has operated the A321LR out of Canberra.
They are quieter and more fuel-efficient aircraft, the airline says..
Jetstar flies up to 18 return flights a week from Canberra across three domestic routes to Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Melbourne.
The extra Brisbane capacity brings the total to more than 350,000 seats annually.
Since launching the three routes following the pandemic, Jetstar has carried more than one million customers in and out of the nation’s capital.
To mark the capacity boost, Jetstar is offering one-way fares from Canberra to Brisbane from $129 at jetstar.com.
“Canberrans and visitors to the region have embraced our low fares and we’re pleased to bring our larger A321LR aircraft to the nation’s capital for the first time,” said Jetstar CEO, Stephanie Tully “
ACT Chief Minister, Andrew Barr, added: “Jetstar’s decision to increase capacity between Canberra and Brisbane later this year is fantastic news for travel affordability.”
“It also demonstrates confidence in Canberra’s tourism offering.”
