The Flying Kangaroo on Monday began 737-800 flights between Sydney and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea, while its low-cost arm on Tuesday resumed its route between Sydney and Osaka using 787-8 Dreamliners.
The E-7A Wedgetail contingent flew more than 250 hours with missions averaging five hours in the air, while up to 100 Australian Defence Force personnel were deployed to Ramstein Air Base in Germany to support the mission.
The A350-900 service, which commenced on Easter Sunday (31 March), adds 303 seats each way, divided into 40 business and 263 economy. In total, it will add 220,584 more seats to the Perth market per year and comes a month after SIA opened a new SilverKris lounge at the airport.
The new route, to commence 25 June and operate twice return per week for the Kimberley’s dry season, will make Jetstar Asia the only carrier operating scheduled international passenger flights out of Broome. After it concludes for the year on 26 October, the service will resume next April.
Union Civil Air said it would apply to the Fair Work Commission to authorise a vote in a move that could potentially lead to huge delays and cancellations across airports nationwide.
The service, the first ever between the two destinations, will now operate twice weekly on Monday and Friday, with 38,000 seats available annually.
