Jetstar has launched flights from Sunshine Coast Airport to Singapore via Bali.
Starting in March 2026, the new service marks the first direct connection between the Sunshine Coast and Southeast Asia.
It will provide access to one of the world’s most dynamic travel and business hubs – and onward connectivity to more than 100 global destinations.
Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Chris Mills said the announcement represents 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,” Mr Mills said.
The new Jetstar service will operate three times a week using the airline’s Airbus A321LR aircraft, offering more than 70,000 seats annually and delivering significant benefits for tourism, trade, and local businesses.
Jetstar Group CEO Stephanie Tully said the airline was proud to be leading the way in opening new international connections for the Sunshine Coast.
“We’re proud to be the first airline to connect the Sunshine Coast to Bali and Singapore. It’s a great win for travellers wanting an easy international getaway.
“With direct flights to Bali, travellers can trade hours on the road to Brisbane for extra time in paradise and enjoy more of what makes this island paradise so special.
Tourism Events Queensland CEO, Craig Davidson said the new service strengthens Queensland’s international aviation connectivity and importantly boosts visitor access to one of the state’s most iconic regions.
“This is a win for the Sunshine Coast and for Queensland,” Mr Davidson said.
Jetstar currently operates direct services from Sunshine Coast Airport to Auckland, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Cairns, making it the airport’s largest carrier.
