Initially Qantas and Jetstar did not share any routes to avoid internal competition. However, with the addition of Adelaide, Perth, Townsville and Darwin services, this is no longer the case. Due to the different markets each attracts, this seems to have had a limited effect on either of the airlines.
Whereas Qantas and other scheduled airlines use Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport, Jetstar flights from Melbourne to Sydney and Brisbane depart from Avalon Airport near Geelong (Qantas has a large maintenance facility at Avalon) because these routes are some of the key Qantas routes. The exceptions to this rule of 'no competition' are flights to Tasmania, Cairns and Townsville, routes on which Qantas operates only a few services for those who would prefer travelling on the full service parent Qantas, or customers wishing to travel Business Class. Jetstar has recently announced new daily flights from Tullamarine to Perth adding to the existing daily flights from Avalon Airport.
Jetstar has announced that they are likely to create hubs at Darwin and Perth with as many as five aircraft based at each airport. The last aircraft will be delivered early in the next decade.
The flights below are operated by Jetstar International,[1][2] and do not include Jetstar Asia Airways, Jetstar Pacific Airlines or Valuair destinations.
Jetstar currently flies to 18 domestic destinations and 16 international destinations in 7 countries across Asia, North America and Oceania. The company plans to expand to the U.S. West Coast and to Southern Europe after the delivery of its Boeing 787's. The company has been criticised by residents of the Australian Capital Territory for not serving Canberra International Airport, which is Australia's eight busiest airport.
