Jetstar is set to begin its first ever direct flights from Adelaide to the Whitsundays this Sunday, September 1st. The new service will operate three times a week, offering 58,000 seats annually between Adelaide and Whitsunday Coast Airport in Proserpine, one of Queensland’s top tropical destinations.
To celebrate the launch, Jetstar is running a special sale with fares starting at $119 one-way, as part of the “Life’s a Beach Sale” available at Jetstar.com.
“Our new direct flights between Adelaide and the Whitsundays will allow up to 58,000 customers for the very first time to fly direct between these two destinations,” Jetstar’s Head of Customer Jenn Armor said.
“Our crew is looking forward to welcoming customers on board these new services which opens another direct link between South Australia and Queensland, supporting tourism in both states”.
“We’re excited that Jetstar is connecting two great destinations offering distinct travel experiences. With a flight time of less than three hours, you could be sipping a Barossa red over lunch and taking a sunset swim in the Coral Sea in the evening,” Adelaide Airport Managing Director Brenton Cox said.
“Whitsunday Coast Airport is the perfect arrivals point for all of the wonderful activities available across the Whitsundays and just a 30-minute drive from Airlie Beach.
“This is great news for South Australians wanting to head to the azure waters of the Whitsundays, but equally we expect Queenslanders will be heading south to sample our State’s amazing food, wine and unique outback and wildlife experiences.”
