Jetstar carried more than 700,000 passengers across the Tasman in 2025, a 9% year‑on‑year increase driven by the addition of over 145,000 low‑fare seats and four new point‑to‑point routes connecting Australia and New Zealand.

Route additions and capacity details

The carrier launched four new services in 2025—Cairns–Christchurch, Gold Coast–Hamilton, Sydney–Hamilton እንዲሁም Gold Coast–Dunedin—and announced a seasonal Brisbane–Queenstown service starting 15 June 2026. These routes expanded direct connections to regional destinations and increased seat availability for trans‑Tasman leisure travel.

Route	Launch	Sample one‑way fare	ማስታወሻዎች
Cairns – Christchurch	2025	From $164	New northern Australia link to South Island
Gold Coast – Hamilton	2025	From $164	Direct access to Waikato region
Sydney – Hamilton	2025	From $164	Additional point‑to‑point option
Gold Coast – Dunedin	2025	From $164	Improves seasonal leisure capacity
Brisbane – Queenstown (seasonal)	From 15 June 2026	Seasonal fares	Direct access to Southern Lakes

Affordability as the key lever

Affordability underpinned the growth: Jetstar reported nearly 400,000 customers on trans‑Tasman flights paying under $200 in 2025. The airline’s promotional push—20,000 fares from $164 one‑way—aimed to stimulate inbound demand from Australia, New Zealand’s largest international market.

Regional impacts on tourism logistics

Adding capacity to secondary airports changes logistics for regional tourism operators. Increased seat frequency shortens lead times for inbound travellers, raises hotel occupancy predictability, and creates more regular demand for ground transfers, local guiding services and activity operators in places such as Hamilton, Dunedin and Queenstown.

Operator considerations

Accommodation managers can anticipate more short‑stay bookings and should consider flexible check‑in/out options.
Transport providers need to coordinate peak arrival windows and scale driver availability.
የጉብኝት ኦፕሬተሮች should re‑package short regional itineraries that connect directly with new flight arrival times.

What this means for travellers and tour demand

Direct low‑fare connections make regional experiences more accessible to Australian visitors seeking weekend escapes or multi‑centre trips. Expect stronger interest in adventure activities, eco‑friendly wildlife safaris, and luxury adventure travel experiences that combine city stays with nearby natural attractions. Regional airports will increasingly function as gateways for niche tourism products such as rafting trips, guided museum tours, and bespoke yacht charters.

Practical tips for planning

Book early for seasonal services (Brisbane–Queenstown) to secure the best fares and time slots.
Coordinate transfers with flight arrivals, especially for late‑season or single‑frequency routes.
Look for bundled offers that combine flights with local experiences to save on logistics and time.

From a travel‑services perspective, the new connections invite collaboration between carriers, regional tourism boards and local providers to create coherent products—day tours timed to flights, multi‑day itineraries linked to arrival/departure patterns, and targeted promotions for off‑peak periods.

Partnerships between airlines and national bodies—such as the promotional work between Jetstar and Tourism New Zealand in Australia—are likely to shift marketing focus toward lesser‑visited regions of Aotearoa, which in turn supports local hospitality and tour suppliers by smoothing demand and increasing visibility.
