The low-cost carrier will operate up to seven weekly return flights, adding roughly 109,000 new low-fare seats annually. This route reconnects South Australia with popular destinations such as Victoria's Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, and Geelong. The service, last available before the pandemic, will use Jetstar’s Airbus A320 aircraft.
