Jetstar to Launch International Flights from Avalon
Jetstar, the low-cost airline subsidiary of Qantas, is preparing to begin international services from Avalon Airport. The carrier plans to introduce flights from Avalon to Bali starting March 23.

Strategic Focus on Melbourne’s Western Suburbs
The move taps into the expanding population of Melbourne’s western suburbs, which now extends through to Geelong, offering increased passenger demand for international travel options.
