reader Posted September 7 Posted September 7 From Aerotime Jetstar is officially opening a new aircraft and pilot base in Western Australia and launching a third new service between Perth and Asia. This marks the single biggest expansion ever of the carrier’s Perth operations. On September 2, 2024, Jetstar officially opened a new base in Perth for up to 60 pilots and aircraft. The carrier plans to introduce four new Airbus A321neo LR aircraft in its fleet by 2029. Additionally, the carrier announced it has shifted its domestic services from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2. The launch will enable passengers to walk between Jetstar’s domestic and international services, rather than having to take a shuttle bus between terminal precincts. Starting from September 6, 2024, Jetstar will begin flying between Perth (PER) and Bangkok (BKK) in Thailand up to four times a week. The decision to launch a new route was made following the successful launch of new Jetstar services between Perth and Singapore and Phuket in August 2024, the company announced. Quote

TMax Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Crapstar have a bad reputation when it comes to (not) looking after passengers when flights are cancelled, they are just the budget airline side of Qantas and I've not heard many good things said about them. Quote
ichigo Posted September 8 Posted September 8 7 hours in an A321 doesn't sound particularly appealing. At least Thai Airways have started flying the PER-BKK route again. TMax 1 Quote
