On Thursday (June 26, 2025), Jetstar announced the launch of new seasonal service between Darwin and Gold Coast.  The route will operate four times weekly with departures from Darwin on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.  Flights will be operated with an Airbus A320 through October 24, 2025, providing over 25,000 seats annually.  For Territorians, the new route offers direct access to Gold Coast’s famous beaches, coastal and hinterland natural attractions, vibrant nightlife and thrilling theme parks.  Travelers from Queensland can now enjoy a direct connection to the Top End’s tropical climate, wild beauty, world class national parks and laid-back vibe. 


In Thursday’s announcement, Jetstar’s Executive Manager, Jenn Armor, said,


“We know Australians are eager to travel to places that offer something special.  Darwin and the Gold Coast are two incredible cities, each with their own flavour and now they’re just one easy flight apart.  This new service is about putting two incredible destinations within easier reach. Less time in transit means more time to enjoy your trip — and more money to spend when you get there.  We’re proud to connect these two amazing regions and thank the Northern Territory Government, Darwin Airport and Gold Coast Airport for their support.” 

 

Also commenting on the new route launch, Airport Development Group’s Executive General Manager – Operations, Rob Porter said,

 

“Today’s inaugural Jetstar flight from the Gold Coast is an exciting milestone that strengthens access between two of Australia’s most iconic destinations.  This service is the result of a strong partnership between the Northern Territory Government and Jetstar and reflects our shared commitment to growing sustainable air connectivity and unlocking tourism opportunities for the Top End.  We’re proud to work together to ensure the Territory is more connected, more accessible, and more visible to the rest of the country.” 

 

Queensland Airports Limited’s Chief Commercial Officer, Adam Rowe, added,


“We’re thrilled to welcome Jetstar’s inaugural Darwin service to Gold Coast Airport – a fantastic addition to our growing domestic network.  This direct route opens up more opportunities for people to reconnect with loved ones, discover unique travel destinations and support the local tourism and hospitality sectors at both ends.  The direct service also eliminates the need for connecting flights or long, often inconvenient drives up the motorway, making travel easier and more accessible.  We thank Jetstar for their continued investment in creating more travel choices for Queenslanders and Territorians alike.”
