At the moment, the Australian carrier currently operates this service on a thrice-weekly basis, and will be adding a fourth from February 5 next year.
On top of this, they will also be instigating a new service between Brisbane and Seoul from February 1, which means the carrier will offer a total of 250,000 seats per year on those two routes.
Below is the scheduling until March 2024:

Jenn Armor, Jetstar’s Executive Manager of Customer commented on this milestone:
“The success of this route comes as no surprise to us – Seoul is a destination that has something for everyone.
“The city’s rich history, gorgeous traditional villages and teahouses, bustling markets, incredible food, vibrant K-pop scene and exciting nightlife make it a must-see destination.
“We’re excited more and more Australians are discovering and falling in love with Seoul, while South Koreans are getting to access Jetstar’s great low fares and service, making a trip down under more convenient and affordable.”
All eyes will be on the carrier to see what other successes will be produced on the routes to Seoul from Sydney & Brisbane.
