Jetstar ramps up Sunshine Coast–Melbourne services

Virgin announced this week it would drop the underperforming Cairns–Haneda service from 24 February and reassign its 737 MAX 8s to domestic flights.

In a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon, Jetstar said it had set up a “dedicated page” on its website for Bonza staff affected by the news.

The Hong Kong-based carrier is now flying 294-seat Boeing 777-300ER aircraft into Perth. This is an upgrade from its five-days-weekly A350-900 service, which offered 280 seats each way as of 6 December, up from the previous three flights per week.
