Business Welcomes Jetstar’s Additional Wellington Flights

The Wellington Employers’ Chamber of Commerce has welcomed Jetstar’s decision to increase flights into and out of Wellington.

“Improved transportation links are crucial to the growth of the Wellington economy and every additional service is welcome,” said Chamber President Richard Stone.

“The new flights will increase the numbers of visitors to Wellington and improve the ability of business travellers to cost effectively travel around the country.

“Increased suppliers of services to the airline will benefit and the new jobs created are also clearly positive.

“We hope that Jetstar will continue to expand its flights out of Wellington to a wider range of domestic destinations. We also hope it will introduce trans-Tasman flights from Wellington.

“Jetstar has established itself as an important player in Wellington’s airline market and today’s announcement consolidates that position,” Mr Stone concluded.
