Jetstar Boosts Newcastle-Bali Seats, Links to Singapore

Thursday, 13 November 2025: Just three weeks after launching its first service from Newcastle to Bali, Jetstar has increased the frequency of its Newcastle to Bali (Denpasar) flights to meet strong demand.

From late March 2026, the airline will operate up to four flights a week from Newcastle to Bali on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, boosting capacity by 24,000 seats a year to a total of more than 96,000 seats annually on the route.

After a 90-minute stop in Bali, the four per week flights will continue to Singapore, allowing Hunter travellers to connect seamlessly to Singapore.

This new connection positions Newcastle as a growing international hub, following the launch of Newcastle-Bali which marked the region's return to international travel.

The additional weekly flight provides Newcastle locals with more low fares and greater choice when planning their next getaway to Bali and beyond.

Singapore provides a gateway to Southeast Asia and the world on the Qantas Group's extensive network and partner airlines, while providing a new way for tourists and business travellers to access Newcastle.

Comments from Jetstar Head of Network, Fleet Strategy and Planning Ted Knight:

"We've seen incredible demand for our Newcastle-Bali flights since the launch, so it's great to be adding a fourth weekly service.

"This extra flight gives Hunter locals even more flexibility and 24,000 more low fare seats a year to one of Australia's favourite holiday spots and now, with a smooth connection through Denpasar, they can explore Singapore and beyond, too.

"With less than two hours between flights, customers can leave Newcastle in the morning and be dining in Singapore by the evening."

Comments from Linc Horton, CEO Newcastle Airport:

"The rapid expansion of the Bali route demonstrates growing confidence in the region's international market. This is now the quickest way to get to Singapore from Newcastle and we're proud to see our international network grow so quickly off the back of strong regional demand.

"The addition of a fourth weekly Bali flight gives travellers more flexibility to reach Bali and introduces a one-stop, same-plane connection to Singapore, opening the door to destinations across the globe.

"This new Singapore connection shows Jetstar's belief in our region's potential and the success of our partnership with Destination NSW and Aviation Attraction Funding. It means more low fares, more flexibility and faster access to Asia, saving passengers time without the need to travel to Sydney."

Comments from Minister for Jobs and Tourism, Steve Kamper:

"This is Newcastle's first international route outside Australasia, and we thrilled that demand has been so strong that Jetstar are adding a fourth weekly service. The extra service will bring more visitors into Newcastle and the Hunter, boosting the local visitor economy.

"The Minns Labor Government, through Destination NSW, is proud to have worked with Jetstar and Newcastle Airport to achieve this extra capacity as we work towards our goal of 8.5 million new airline seats to achieve $91 billion in visitor expenditure for NSW by 2035."

Comments from Minister for the Hunter Yasmin Catley:

"Newcastle Airport is taking the Hunter to the world, and that's a trip the Minns Labor Government is backing. This boost will drive visitors, support local jobs and keep our region growing strong.

"This new link to Singapore is a real leap forward for locals in the Hunter and along our coast. It gives people easier access to Asia, more flexibility and the kind of global connectivity a region of our scale genuinely deserves.

"But the momentum won't stop here. The Hunter is ready to take on even bigger opportunities, and I'll keep working to open more doors for our communities and our economy."

Comments from Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington:

"Newcastle Airport is flying high! With more flights to Bali and a second stop in Singapore, the people of Port Stephens and the Hunter will be more connected to the world than ever before.

"Now locals can literally jump on a plane in Newy and get off in Singapore - the NSW Government's investment in Newcastle Airport is clearly paying dividends for locals."

Comments from Federal Member for Paterson, Meryl Swanson MP:

"The introduction of a seamless connection from Newcastle to Singapore via Bali is a great outcome for our community - making it easier for Hunter locals to travel internationally while also creating new opportunities to attract visitors, boost tourism, and support local jobs.

"This announcement reflects the confidence airlines have in our region's potential and the ongoing efforts to enhance connectivity, grow our economy, and showcase everything the Hunter has to offer."
