More people could be set to fly Jetstar due to ongoing angst around aviation prices. 

This comes following a Commerce Commission complaint from a man who was stunned by the cost of an Air New Zealand direct flight to Wellington. 

The airline defended its prices, saying their fares reflected the 'true cost of flying'. 

Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully told Mike Hosking travel remains important to people, and they play an important role.  

She says most people are feeling a cost of living pressure, and that's where Jetstar becomes a good choice. 

It’s also seen an uptick in reliability.  

Tully says that based on their operational performance report, they were more reliable than Air New Zealand in March.
