According to tradition, Jonah's message was chiefly meant to impress the Ten Israelite Tribes. If they would take to heart how the people of Nineveh repented, they might do the same.
Jonah suspected that most of the Ten Tribes were likely to ignore the lesson and this would hasten the destruction of their land. That's why he fled.

Jonah suspected that most of the Ten Tribes were likely to ignore the lesson and this would hasten the destruction of their land. That's why he tried to avoid conveying God's prophecy to Nineveh. He left the shores of Israel in a ship, since Israel is the land most conducive to prophecy. See also the Related Links. Link: What species can swallow a man?
