JETSTAR is poised to become the first low-cost arilline to Europe from Australia.

JETSTAR could be pipped at the post in becoming the first long-haul low-cost airline to fly from Australia to Europe: the budget carrier Viva Macau is looking to enter the route as soon as late next year.

Viva Macau says it plans to launch four-weekly charter flights to Sydney in the first half of 2007 before moving to a scheduled daily service if the market performs as expected.

The airline, which took delivery of its first Boeing 767 last month, is also looking to fly to Melbourne.
