However, Jetstar will cut its five weekly flights between Christchurch and Queenstown and will cut back flights between Christchurch, the Gold Coast and Melbourne. The airline said it was cutting the Christchurch-Queenstown services because customers were now flying directly into Queenstown.
The changes are due to take effect on November 15. Jetstar said the addition of the new aircraft would help create 50 new jobs.
