Once the route launches, Jetstar will be serving Kansai from Brisbane, Cairns and Sydney. Jetstar Group CEO, Stephanie Tully, said the LCC had freed up 787-8s for the route because of the arrival of A321neoLR narrow-bodies in its fleet. “This is the eighth international service we’ have launched or announced in the past year and our third new service between Australia and Japan,” Tully said.
