According to Travel Today's latest online newsletter, Jetstar are introducing twenty two additional weekly services out of Cairns, with the relaunch of a direct international Cairns to Osaka, Japan, A330 service and extra domestic flights between Cairns and Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.

From Thursday April 1, Jetstar will introduce a four times weekly direct service between Cairns and Osaka, and between now and April 1 it will add 18 additional domestic flights from Cairns.

Editors Comments: Now that's the kind of news I love reporting. Let's hope we haven't miffed too many Japanese with the 'caged kangaroo' debacle and they take advantage of the extra flights.
