Jetstar to Expand in NZ..... with longhaul
Looks as though Jetstar will be needing a few of the new cadets in NZ.
"Later this year, Jetstar will base a 7th A320 aircraft in New Zealand with the flexibility to operate on domestic or international routes from its existing NZ ports.
A 7th positioned A320 will create around 50 new airline jobs for Jetstar’s NZ operations in Pilot, Cabin Crew, Engineering and Airport Customer Services areas, growing to beyond 300 jobs.
In addition, Jetstar is currently considering deployment of two-class A330-200 aircraft to support the launch of first time value based long haul Jetstar international services to New Zealand."
It would appear the rumours of two A330's to be based in AKL could well be correct with rumours of SFO and Vancouver. Interesting times ahead.
