There has been strong competition between Jetstar and Air New Zealand, with both airlines looking to capitalise on domestic tourism.
Like all operators in the airline and tourism industry, Jetstar has been hit hard by the impact of coronavirus.
In March, Qantas and Jetstar announced they would stand down 20,000 staff due to the impact of the virus.
The airline is aiming to reach 60 per cent of its normal domestic schedule, operating 75 return flights per week to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown.
The airline said it would closely monitor demand, with further domestic flights likely to be added to the schedule in coming months.
Jetstar's promotional fare include:
• Auckland to Wellington from $32 one way • Auckland to Christchurch from $34 one way • Christchurch to Wellington from $32 one way • Auckland to Dunedin from $49 one way • Auckland to Queenstown from $49 one way • Wellington to Queenstown from $39 one way
