Jetstar has decided to ditch flights on the underperforming route between the Gold Coast and Japan's third biggest city of Osaka in favour of a new service from Melbourne to Tokyo.
The rejig of its international network comes just two days after Qantas' budget offshoot decided to further reduce flights to the Northern Territory and close its aircraft base in Darwin, blaming intense competition from foreign airlines.Jetstar's head of Australasian operations, David Hall, said the Gold Coast-Osaka route had not been performing to expectations, and the decision to cut the service was ''part of our response to the current state of the Australian aviation market and a realignment'' of the airline's international network.
The thrice-weekly service to Osaka will cease on May 8 next year.
Jetstar will maintain flights between the Gold Coast and Tokyo, which had stronger demand than the Osaka route.
