I almost predicted this a month ago. But wrong airline. From the Bonza thread:

Another one with potential could be MEL-HVB, which is currently not served by anyone, although being only just over an hour from BDB might cannibalise that.

A pre-emptive strike perhaps?

Looks like we have one more announcement coming this week. JQ’s Instagram page is teasing 3 new route launches. MEL-HVB & SYD-KIX being the first two announced.

I’ll take a guess and say the third will be Sydney to Busselton.
