ABC Hobart Local News
The 41 pilots and cabin crew based in Hobart have been told they have two months to decide whether to take a voluntary redundancy or move to another base.
Jetstar Spokesman Simon Westaway says the closure is part of several changes around the network to accommodate growth into the Asian market and expansion of bases in Perth, Cairns and Darwin.
Mr Westaway says the company will do everything it can to redeploy all the Hobart crew.
"From a cabin crew perspective it'll be seeking vacancies in other crew bases as we continue to develop our organisation," he said.
"For our small pilot group in Hobart it will mean the choice as part of a broader initiative at the moment underway where we'll be offering new positions at a number of our bases around Australia."
Jetstar says there will be changes to flight schedules in and out of Hobart from the first of May but the total number of flights to the city will not be cut.
