About JETGO Australia
JETGO Australia or, simply JETGO, was a regional Australian airline that offered scheduled passenger flights within the country. The airline was based at Brisbane Airport (BNE) and flew to several destinations across Australia's eastern states — Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. At the time that it stopped flying, the airline flew to 18 destinations overall and was one of the top choices for flights throughout the east of Australia. JETGO only ever offered domestic flights in Australia and didn't fly internationally. The airline stopped flying after it went into voluntary administration in 2018 and never returned to the skies.
JETGO was founded in 2011 and began flying charter flights the following year. The airline didn't start flying regularly scheduled flights until 2014 when it began flying regionally between destinations in Queensland and New South Wales. It's first scheduled flight flew between Sydney and Tamworth. Sydney was the airline's base initially but in 2015, the airline changed hubs and started flying out of Brisbane Airport, which remained its hub until it ceased operations in 2018.
Throughout its time, JETGO was one of the best options for flying between destinations in the east of Australia. Among its most popular routes were flights between Melbourne, Brisbane and Wollongong Airport. The airline had planned to launch international flights with a brand-new service between Brisbane and Singapore. But, before the plans came to life, the airline went into administration and stopped flying permanently.
