Jetstar new route Wishlist

Can WOL even take an A320 in RPT operations?

Could actually be good to see Jetstar have a smaller plane type to put on routes that don't quite support 180+ seat aircraft, although that undermines the low cost model (and could undermine the very profitable QantasLink). Not common, but some LCC's do operate smaller aircraft (such as Scoot and Indigo)

WOL 16/34 is 1815m (vs eg. HTI at 1764)

I reckon Jetstar would be good out of LEA (Exmouth) maybe a PER-LEA-SYD route a few times a week in the peak season (april-october) A lot of backpackers go through there and potentially a lot of demand if flights didn't all go through Perth and are expensive, but there definitely would be demand I would think given how many flights there are up to North Queensland. They have tried LEA-MEL using QF but it would be mostly leasure traffic, so that never really made sense to me. QF operates PER to LEA a few times daily, they might not want to cannibalise profits on that route. Another option could be LEA-BME-SYD possibly.

Sydney to Taipei, Sydney to Bangkok and Sydney to Hong Kong would be on my wish list.

For Hong Kong and Bangkok this might cannibalise some of Qantas bookings to these destinations so I can see why they might not consider them as routes.
Having said that, Hong Kong Airlines provides some pretty competitive fares across to Hong Kong so if Qantas don't want to lose their market share on this route, they should consider putting a Jetstar plane on this route.

BNE-RAR, other Pacific Islands like Solomons preferably MUA, Tonga, Samoa, New Caledonia, PNG other than POM. Sumba in Indonesia as Bali alternative for people tired of the tourist rush.
