REVEALED: Full list of additional Jetstar flights cancelled tomorrow
Almost 30 Jetstar flights have been cancelled on Thursday as workers plan to walk off the job again.
Jetstar baggage handlers and ground crew will strike again tomorrow, with hundreds of workers holding one 2 hour stoppage in the morning and two 1 hour stoppages in the evening at Sydney, Melbourne, Avalon, Brisbane, Cairns and Adelaide Airports.
As a result, the budget airline has announced further flight cancellations, including four flights to and from the Gold Coast.
“We have proactively cancelled the following flights on Thursday 19 December and are re-accommodating passengers on alternate services,” Jetstar said in a statement.

The Transport Workers Union say they’re not backing down on their demands.
“We sent Jetstar a powerful message with a 94% vote to take protected industrial action, but Jetstar has still not come to the table on our claims for better pay and safer conditions,” the union said in a statement.
“Now is the time to stand together and take action to show Jetstar we won’t back down.”
Tomorrow’s cancellations come following the news that Jetstar has cancelled 10 per cent of domestic flights in January due to the industrial action.
“Due to the potential for ongoing action by the AFAP in particular, Jetstar is proactively adjusting its schedule for the rest of January by reducing domestic capacity by about 10 per cent,” the budget airline said in a statement on Monday.
“Doing this well in advance will significantly reduce disruption in what is the airline’s busiest month of the year.”
