Jetstar to Change Flight Times at Whitsunday Coast / Proserpine Airport

The flight times of the Jetstar flights between Proserpine and Brisbane are expected to change in April. The current evening flights will arrive and depart each day in the morning.

From Sunday 3 April, the flights from the Whitsunday Coast / Proserpine Airport will now depart at 11.10am under the new timetable.
The flights from Brisbane to Proserpine will also change, leaving Brisbane at 8.55am and arriving in Proserpine at 10.40am.

A Jetstar spokesperson said customers who had already booked their flights with Jetstar from beyond Sunday 3 April would be given options for alternate arrangements, including changing flight times or a refund.

Jetstar also believes the flight change would benefit travellers.

Tourism Whitsundays said there were pros and cons for the change in flight time, with the earlier arrival times suiting accommodation and boat operators. However, they feel the very early departure from Brisbane may not connect well with flights from southern states.
