Jetstar has announced the launch of direct flights from Sunshine Coast Airport to Singapore via Bali, connecting the region to the world like never before.
Commencing March 2026, the new service marks the first direct connection between the Sunshine Coast and Southeast Asia, with onward connectivity to more than 100 global destinations.
Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Chris Mills said the announcement represented a transformational moment for the region in terms of growth and global reach.
“This is a game-changer for the Sunshine Coast,” Mr Mills said.
“For the first time, locals can fly direct to Bali for an island holiday. Our research shows that this is a highly sought after destination for locals.
“But it gets even better – after a short stop in Bali the flight continues on to Singapore – a global hub. Travelling to Singapore via Bali allows passengers to connect to destinations right across Asia, Europe and beyond.
“It opens the world to our region and provides more opportunity for international travellers to land directly at our airport, only minutes from beautiful beaches and hinterland.
“The new route will strengthen the Sunshine Coast’s position as a global gateway for Queensland and enhance access for international visitors looking to explore the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and the wider region.”
The new Jetstar service will operate three times per week using the airline’s Airbus A321LR aircraft, offering more than 70,000 seats annually.
