In December, the new services will create better access to key Southeast Asia cities and provide more opportunities for customers to travel freely within the region. Jetstar Asia CEO, Barathan Pasupathi, said as the peak travel season approached, customers were getting excited about planning their end-of-year trips.
“We’re seeing strong demand for air travel in the upcoming holiday period, and we’re responding to ensure more of our customers have more options for low-fares travel during this time,” Mr Pasupathi said. "These new services are a response to the pent-up demand for travel and reflects Jetstar Asia's ongoing focus on rebuilding our extensive network.”
All Jetstar Asia (3K) services will continue to operate out of Terminal 1 in Singapore's Changi Airport until March 2023.
Additional Jetstar Asia (3K) services from Singapore:
Bangkok: Services will increase from 9 to 17 flights a week with two weekday and one Sunday service, to support the pent-up demand for travel between Singapore and Bangkok. One-way low fares start from SGD182.
Bali: Five additional weekly services will operate to Denpasar, bringing the total weekly flights from 9 to 14. One-way low fares start from SGD138.
Phnom Penh: An additional weekday service will be introduced to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, offering customers daily flights. One-way low fares are available from SGD136.
Penang: Two additional services to Penang will enable travellers more options to fly to the Pearl of the Orient. One-way low fares start from SGD130.
Phuket: Five additional services will be added to the line-up of services to Phuket, offering customers daily services to the popular beach destination. Fares start from SGD156.
Customers who think their travel plans might change can add FareCredit to their bookings on selected flights in the Jetstar network. With FareCredit, customers can cancel their booking up until airport check-in opens and get a credit voucher for the value of the flight, plus any in-flight extras like baggage, meals, and seats, with exclusions.
Jetstar’s Fly Well safety measures offer an added layer of protection and demonstrate our commitment to keeping our people and our customers safe.
