 Jetstar has unveiled plans to launch direct
flights between Brisbane and Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok.

Scheduled to take off on 13
December 2024, the airline will operate the route with thrice
weekly flights using Boeing 787
aircraft.

Flight JQ65
is timed to depart Brisbane (BNE) every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
at 14:20, arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) on the outskirts
of Bangkok at 19:30.

From Bangkok, flight JQ66 is slated to leave every Tuesday, Thursday
and
Saturday at 21:25, arriving in Brisbane at 08:25, the following day.

“With Jetstar’s three direct flights each week
from December and great low fares, it has never been easier or
more affordable to get to Bangkok from Brisbane and we expect this
new route to be incredibly popular,” said Jetstar Group CEO, Steph
Tully.

The new service will become
Jetstar’s 20th domestic and international route to/from Brisbane
and is expected to carry more than 100,000
people each year between the two cities

This year, Jetstar is also launching new flights from Perth to
Bangkok and Phuket and the new Brisbane flights, combined with the
carrier’s existing routes from Sydney and Melbourne, mean it will
operate up to 22 flights each week between Australia and Thailand
by the end of the year.

“It’s terrific to see Jetstar take flight between
Bangkok and Brisbane for the first time,” said Queensland
Government Minister for Tourism, Michael Healy. “Compared to pre-COVID figures, we
have recently seen record numbers of visitors from Thailand to
Queensland, so it was vital for us to open up a direct route to
Bangkok. Being a low-cost carrier, Jetstar will help make
travel to Brisbane more affordable for international students and
passengers travelling from across Asia, the UK, and Europe, using
Bangkok as a hub. Air freight from Brisbane to Thailand
hit a record $46.5 million last year, so the return flights will be
terrific for our meat, fish, fruit, and vegetable exporters.”
