Jetstar will also operate up to two round trips per day to Melbourne, four round trips per week to Gold Coast, and three round trips per week to Brisbane, for a maximum of 21 round trips per week. The aircraft used will be Airbus A320s.
Within the Qantas Group, Qantas Airways will operate four round trips per week each to Melbourne and Brisbane from March 28, 2027. QantasLink will operate these services, using Embraer E190 aircraft. Cargo flights will also begin operating from July 27.
Construction of Western Sydney International Airport (Nancy-Bird Walton Airport) began in 2018. The airport is operated by Western Sydney Airport, a government-owned company. Unlike Sydney (Kingsford Smith) International Airport, there are no night-time flight restrictions, and the new airport is expected to help alleviate congestion at the existing airport.
The Qantas Group plans to deploy up to 10 narrow-body aircraft for Jetstar Airways and up to 5 for Qantas Airways within five years, with an expected annual transport capacity of 4 million passengers.
