Victorian Tourism Minister John Pandazopoulos says an expansion to Jetstar's services at Avalon airport will boost Victoria's tourism industry.
Jetstar has announced it will run extra flights from Sydney and Adelaide to Avalon from March.
Mr Pandazopoulos says the expansion confirms Avalon as a major regional airport.
"It's really a boost for all of Victoria," he said.
"We have two airports in Melbourne now, one servicing low-cost carriers in the domestic market and the other one, Melbourne Airport, our international airport, and the full range of services.
"But Avalon is a great success story."
Mr Pandazopoulos says about one-third of visitors arriving at Avalon "are tourist travellers going to Geelong and the Great Ocean Road".
