THE Gold Coast Airport is now offering the first of two new Jetstar services between the Gold Coast and New Zealand.
Holiday makers are now able to take advantage of direct flights from Gold Coast to Wellington - the first time in over 10 years that a new airline has launched year-round international services from Wellington and the first time in over five years an airline has offered Wellington to Gold Coast flights.
In addition, direct Gold Coast to Queenstown flights are now in operation.
"This is Jetstar's first international service from Wellington, so it really is great news and a huge win for the Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales," he says.
"Conversely, we also know there is a high population of New Zealanders living on the Gold Coast, many of whom have family back home in NZ.
These services equate to over 112,000 additional seats per year into and out of Gold Coast Airport.
These new services will operate 3 times per week to both Wellington (Friday, Sunday, Wednesday) and Queenstown (Saturday, Monday, Thursday), operated by an A320 aircraft.
