Jetstar has launched marketing of the flights with $99 one-way Darwin-Manila fares, and $199 one-way Sydney-Darwin-Manila and Melbourne-Darwin-Manila flights.
“Filipino Australians now represent the third largest overseas born population base in Darwin. This alone will drive personal, holiday and commercial related travel between Darwin and Manila and underpin this service to set a sound platform to attract larger Asian visitation to Australia,” said Jetstar’s head of government and commercial partnerships Unni Menon.
Parent Qantas also operates to Manila from Sydney.
