Came in from OOL's Communications Office this morning (release not yet available online), JQ will be adding an additional daily A320 OOL-SYD service commencing 1 APR 2012.

In December 2011 Jetstar commenced four extra weekly services on the Melbourne route and have this week announced an additional daily service on the popular Gold Coast – Sydney route, commencing 1 April 2012.

Gold Coast Airport Chief Operating Officer Paul Donovan said the decision by Jetstar to base their fourth new A320 aircraft on the Gold Coast would not only benefit tourism to the region but would also provide employment opportunities.

“Obviously we are thrilled to see existing capacity put on what are traditionally our two key domestic markets and we’ll work closely with Jetstar to ensure this extra capacity proves profitable.
