Jetstar opens Perth crew base as Qantas Group expands aviation training and regional fleet upgrades. The new base starts with 40 crew and targets 90 local positions, supporting Perth-Christchurch flights, more Melbourne services and a training centre serving over 1,200 staff annually. Qantas Group and Jetstar representatives and cabin crew at an aviation safety training facility in Perth. Key takeaways. * Jetstar launched its Perth cabin crew base with 40 employees and plans to increase local roles to 90. * New Perth-Christchurch flights begin 27 October 2026 with more than 30,000 low-fare seats planned for the season. * A new Perth safety facility is expected to train over 1,200 Qantas Group personnel annually. * Nineteen Perth-based QantasLink A320s are receiving Wi-Fi and cabin improvements, while E190 preparations progress. (NEWS) PERTH, Western Australia, Australia, 2026-Oct-16 - /Travel PR News/ - Perth is gaining a larger role in the Qantas Group network, with a new Jetstar cabin crew base, a dedicated aviation safety training facility and upgrades to regional aircraft forming part of a fresh investment push in Western Australia. The expansion adds local crew positions while supporting domestic flights, a new trans-Tasman link and services serving the state's resources sector. Jetstar's Perth base began operating in October with 40 cabin crew, with the airline intending to increase the number of locally based positions to 90. The move is designed to support further departures from Western Australia's capital and reduce the need to rely on crews based elsewhere as the carrier expands its schedule. New Christchurch flights and more Perth-Melbourne capacity. For travellers, the most immediate international addition is Jetstar's new Perth-Christchurch service, scheduled to launch on 27 October 2026. The airline says the route will offer more than 30,000 low-fare seats across its operating season, adding a direct connection between Western Australia and New Zealand's South Island. The carrier also plans to increase its Perth-Melbourne schedule to as many as four return flights daily during the summer holiday period. Together, the flight changes expand options for leisure travellers and people making connections between western and eastern Australia. Safety training moves closer to Western Australian crews. Alongside the crew base, the group has opened a purpose-built Emergency Procedures Training Centre in Perth. It is expected to train more than 1,200 Qantas, QantasLink and Jetstar employees each year, encompassing existing cabin crew and new recruits. Jetstar's latest Perth-based recruits are already undertaking ground-school instruction at the site. The centre brings classroom teaching and practical simulations together. Its equipment includes a virtual-reality training area, door trainers for Boeing 787 and 737 aircraft and Airbus A330 and A320 aircraft, an Airbus A321 narrow-body trainer, an evacuation slide and life rafts. An Embraer E190 trainer is due to be installed in early 2027 in preparation for that aircraft's entry into QantasLink's Western Australian operations. Locating this training in Perth means Western Australian personnel can undertake more mandatory safety instruction locally rather than travelling to eastern Australia, a practical consideration as the number of locally based employees increases. Aircraft investment reaches regional and resources operations. The expansion also extends to the QantasLink fleet serving Western Australia, including travel linked to the resources industry. Nineteen Perth-based Airbus A320 aircraft are receiving Wi-Fi installations, refreshed seating and cabin improvements. The first upgraded aircraft has been completed and, according to the group's 16 October announcement, was scheduled to return to service during the same week. QantasLink's first Embraer E190 for its Western Australian fleet arrived in Perth in September 2026, marking another stage in the operator's regional fleet renewal. The addition of training equipment for the E190 reflects the preparations required before these aircraft enter local service. Vanessa Hudson, Qantas Group chief executive, described Western Australia as one of the airline group's key growth markets and said Perth is expected to become its second-largest international gateway after Sydney in the coming years. She linked the investments to employment, extra flying and easier access to training for locally based crews. Western Australian Premier and Tourism, Trade and Investment Minister Roger Cook welcomed the investment for its training and employment implications and its contribution to Perth's position in aviation, tourism and trade. The projects illustrate how airline network growth involves more than launching routes: crew bases, safety instruction and fleet modernisation must develop alongside the flying programme. For passengers, the changes promise additional Perth connectivity and gradual onboard improvements, while the recruitment and training facilities create a broader operational base for the group's growth in Western Australia. Further details are available in Jetstar's official announcement and on the Qantas website.
Air New Zealand wins APAC punctuality bronze in September. Air New Zealand was the third most punctual airline in the Asia-Pacific region last month, according to data from aviation analyst Cirium. September saw 87.3 per cent of Air New Zealand flights arrive within 15 minutes of schedule, well above the global average of 77.7 per cent, placing it behind Hainan Airlines and Trinity Airways (formerly T'way). The carrier operated a total of 13,072 flights during the month. "Customers count on us to get them where they need to go. Our airport and cabin teams make that possible by working together to get each flight ready to depart on time. That means being disciplined and focusing on the details," said Air New Zealand chief operations officer Kate Boyer. "There isn't one silver bullet for punctuality - it's about getting lots of small things right, from having the aircraft ready, bags being loaded, crew being in position and customers boarding at the right time. Saving a minute or two at each stage makes a difference." According to Air New Zealand, one technique it has used to increase punctuality is "pre-staging general boarding", which involves airport and cabin crew teams working together to "have the gate and customers ready so general boarding can begin as soon as the aircraft is cleared". "On international flights from Auckland, the trial saw extended boarding delays reduce by around 45 per cent and general boarding begin just under four minutes earlier," the airline said. "Air New Zealand then tested the same approach on domestic jet services from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. While domestic flights generally have a shorter boarding process, the trial still saw boarding-related delays reduce by around 25 per cent." Boyer noted that pre-staging general boarding has now become an approved process for Air New Zealand departures across all NZ airports since the beginning of October. "The biggest learning has been about what we can achieve when our airport and cabin crew teams have a shared understanding of what excellence looks like and work together to get flights ready earlier," she said. "Every minute matters when a delay to one flight can have a knock-on effect across the network. That's the kind of precision and discipline that sits behind a strong operation. "Australian Aviation need to maintain this focus on finding opportunities to improve punctuality and reliability for its customers, particularly as Australian Aviation head into the busy summer period. "87.3 per cent is a strong result, but our focus is the other 12.7 per cent. That's what keeps us looking for the next minute we can save." While no Australian airlines appeared in Cirium's top 10 for APAC in September, Qantas did rank fifth among major airlines globally in fellow analyst OAG's ratings for the month, with 86.57 per cent of its flights arriving on time.

ATSB probes Townsville near miss between Jetstar plane and van. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has confirmed it is investigating a near miss at Townsville Airport last week between a Jetstar A320 and a ground vehicle. Flight JQ908 from Brisbane, operated by VH-VGQ (similar aircraft pictured), was reportedly around 15 metres from hitting a van as it landed in Townsville at 2:20pm on 7 October. Australian Aviation understands the van had entered the restricted area near the runway. "During the approach to land on runway 01, the A320 flight crew observed a white van entering the runway at the threshold," the ATSB said. "The vehicle was stopped at the outer edge of the runway as the aircraft passed at approximately 50 ft above ground level. The aircraft subsequently landed and the vehicle resumed crossing the runway. "The evidence collection phase of the investigation will involve interviewing involved parties, retrieving and reviewing recorded data, and the collection of other relevant information. "A final report will be released at the conclusion of the investigation. Should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify relevant parties, so that appropriate safety action can be taken." In a statement, a Jetstar spokesperson said: "Safety is our number one priority, and we are working with the ATSB to understand the circumstances surrounding this incident." As Townsville Airport shares its footprint with RAAF Base Townsville, air traffic control is provided by the Royal Australian Air Force, and a Defence spokesperson confirmed to the media that the department is participating in the investigation. "Defence is working closely with the ATSB regarding its investigation into a runway incursion and near collision at RAAF Base Townsville/Townsville Airport on 7 October 2026, after a vehicle entered a restricted airside area," the spokesman said. "As this matter is under investigation, Defence will make no further comment at this time." As reported by the ABC, this makes the fourth incident under ATSB investigation at or near Townsville Airport in the last two months, including a performance calculation error on a Jetstar flight, a mayday call due to low fuel on a Qantas flight, and a mid-air near collision between a Dash 8 and a two-seater aircraft.
