Advertiser Staff
Jetstar will drop its direct Melbourne-Honolulu service after just eight months because ticket sales failed to meet targets set by the discount carrier, according to an Australian newspaper.The Melbourne Herald Sun said that Jetstar will cease its twice-a-week Airbus A330 service Oct. 28. Jetstar passengers booked on Honolulu flights from Melbourne after Oct. 28 will be transferred to Qantas and Jetstar domestic for their flights to Sydney where they will board their flight to Hawai'i.
Jetstar launched its Melbourne-Honolulu service on Dec. 29 last year. The company will continue to fly its three times a week Sydney-to-Honolulu route.
