More Aussie snow lovers will be able to fly down Kiwi ski slopes with Jetstar adding extra services between Australia and Queenstown.

Jetstar will add 44 return services between Melbourne and Sydney and New Zealand's adventure destination during the nine-week peak of the winter ski season.

Melbourne ski-bunnies will be able to jump on 26 additional flights while Sydney will get 18 more services to Queenstown.

The flights will operate between the start of July and the end of August.

"That equates to an additional 15,000 seats in and out of Queenstown during winter," Jetstar's head of New Zealand, Grant Kerr said on Wednesday.

Over the nine-week period, Jetstar flights will operate from Melbourne to Queenstown daily and from Sydney to the resort town five times a week.

The additional flights are a response to increasing numbers of Australians wanting to visit New Zealand during winter, Mr Kerr said.
