The new service will begin in May and will operate three times a week from Brisbane to the capital of the Cook Islands, one of the South Pacific’s most popular and picturesque island escapes.
The route will provide more than 50,000 seats to and from Rarotonga each year. Flights will be operated on Jetstar’s modern and fuel-efficient A321neo LR aircraft, part of a growing, state-of-the-art fleet.
This new service marks the airline’s second direct route from Australia to the Cook Islands, following the successful launch of direct Sydney to Rarotonga flights in 2023.
Jetstar is the only airline offering direct flights between Brisbane, Sydney and Rarotonga.
“This new route builds on the incredible demand we’re seeing out of Queensland, with six international services launched or announced in just six months,” said Stephanie Tully, Jetstar Group CEO.
“When these flights start in May 2026, Jetstar will be providing more than 110,000 seats each year to and from the Cook Islands.
“We’re proud to work with our partners including the Cook Islands Government, to give more Australians the chance to experience this incredible destination.”
The $249 fare is available from today during a 48-hour Route Launch Sale at jetstar.com.
