Canberra Airport 'certainly interested' in Jetstar flying from capital to Sydney

Canberra Airport says it would "certainly" be interested in having a low-cost airline such as Jetstar flying between the capital and Sydney. Flights between Canberra and Sydney have consistently had some of the worst cancellation rates in the country, with recent govt statistics indicating a downturn in passengers flying between the cities. Canberra Airport MD Stephen Byron said Canberra to Sydney would be well-suited to a low-cost airline such as Jetstar, and this could encourage more travellers to fly the route. "It's the largest route that doesn't have a low-cost carrier on it in the Australian market," Byron said. Cancellations for Canberra to Sydney flights hit 4.8% in November, well above the national cancellation average of 1.4% of all flights. Byron said the pattern of cancellations was "unacceptably high". <br/>
