Strategic Implications

This expansion may indicate Jetstar’s confidence in sustained demand for budget travel options from Melbourne’s western suburbs and regional Victoria. The addition of international flights to Bali suggests a focus on providing convenient access to popular overseas destinations for travelers from Melbourne. The increased seat capacity at AVV Airport could strengthen Jetstar’s position as the largest carrier at the airport.
