Jetstar wishes to provide an update on its domestic and international services to and from Darwin as a result of Tropical Cyclone Carlos and the previous closure of Darwin International Airport.
Following the re-opening of Darwin Airport, we are pleased to confirm that all scheduled Jetstar services to and from Darwin will recommence this afternoon (Thursday 17 February).
The first arriving Jetstar flight into Darwin, which will resume our scheduled services for the NT capital, is anticipated to arrive in Darwin around 1700 (5:00pm) local time.
Jetstar cares for its customers, especially those impacted by previous cancellations on 15-17 February, due to the airport closure as a result of Cyclone Carlos.
