Summary
- Jetstar’s latest nonstop flight from Sydney to Busselton Margaret River offers quick access to Western Australia’s popular region.
- The route will operate thrice weekly, with seats as little as AU$135 a method, making Margaret River more accessible.
- Jetstar continues to expand its network, connecting major Australian cities to popular destinations for travelers.
When Australia’s newest domestic airline, Bonza, launched in 2023, it set a transparent strategy of connecting destinations that didn’t have nonstop flights or weren’t served by a low-cost carrier. Since then, Australians have seen many latest routes launched by all six domestic airlines, and today it was Jetstar’s turn to begin one other.

Starting today, travelers from Sydney or those arriving on international flights can fly nonstop for the primary time ever to Busselton Margaret River, due to Jetstar’s latest service that took off this morning.

Jetstar Executive Manager Jenn Armor said the launch of the brand new Sydney service comes just ahead of next month’s second anniversary of Jetstar flying from Melbourne to Busselton Margaret River.
“Near two years ago Jetstar began flying from Melbourne to Busselton Margaret River and following the success of those flights, which have carried over 100,000 passengers to this point, we’re excited to launch the one direct flights from Sydney to WA’s stunning South West. Holidaymakers from Sydney will have the ability to fly direct to Margaret River in about five hours for as little as AU$135 [$90] a method making the region way more accessible from the Harbour City.”
