Jetstar has launched its new Hobart-Newcastle route, with the connection set to boost tourism across both cities.

There will be three weekly return services linking the Hunter and Hobart until 21 April 2026, operated by Jetstar’s A320 fleet and providing more than 22,000 new low-cost seats on the route this season.

It comes six weeks after Jetstar restarted international flying from Newcastle, offering four flights a week to Bali (Denpasar) and connections to Singapore.
