Jono Naylor has welcomed this morning’s
announcement that Jetstar will begin to offer flights to
Palmerston North.
“This is a big win for Palmerston
North,” Jono says.
“For quite some time now we’ve
hoped we would get the nod for more flights, so it’s great
to know that’s now going to happen.
“More flights to
Palmerston North means more visitors, more tourists and
greater opportunities for the area, and it’s always good
to see healthy competition in the market.”
As the
instigator of the Jetstar to Palmerston North Facebook page,
Jono has been pleased with way the community has responded.
“It was fantastic to see the community get behind this
project and send a clear message to Jetstar that this
service would be welcome and well utilised. I’d like to
thank everyone for their support”
Jetstar’s
additional services from Palmerston North will commence in
December.
