Jetstar will pull out of its Christchurch to Sydney service due to tough market conditions. Jetstar will continue to offer up to 10 direct flights a week from Christchurch to Australia, with daily services to Melbourne and three services a week to the Gold Coast. Jetstar started its New Zealand operations with Christchurch-Sydney flights in December 2005 before expanding into the domestic market four years later. From October 15 the airline will shift the Auckland-Gold Coast service to the morning, enabling connections to Japan (Narita) via the Gold Coast. Jetstar is upgrading its fleet with the introduction of the Airbus A321 NEO from July next year.
