Overwhelming support for new Jetstar regional flights

Survey finds overwhelming support for new Jetstar regional flights

• Nearly 95% of regional flyers say Jetstar’s planned new services are a good idea
• Two out of three travellers believe current regional flights don’t offer value for money
• 68% of regional flyers have driven to another city to catch a domestic flight to save money

A nationwide survey on Jetstar’s planned regional flights has found overwhelming support for the new services with 89% of travellers saying they’re a good idea, rising to 94% in the regions.

Jetstar commissioned the independent research following its June announcement that it would begin regional services later this year to four destinations. Those under consideration are Hamilton, Rotorua, Tauranga, Napier, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Nelson and Invercargill.

Cheaper fares, more competition and more choice were cited as the key reasons travellers supported Jetstar’s regional expansion.
