Jetstar Launches New Services Between Singapore and Manila as Part of Major Boost to Services
MELBOURNE, Aug. 20/Medianet International-AsiaNet/ --
Low fares leader Jetstar Asia has announced it will operate three additional services* between Singapore
and Manila from the 25 October 2009.
Jetstar commenced services to Manila in April 2005 and currently operates a daily service.
The carrier was granted approval for the additional flying in June this year and from the 25 October, will
operate 10 weekly services.*
All services will operate from Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 to Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Jetstar Asia and Valuair Chief Executive Officer Ms Chong Phit Lian said the carrier had long had additional
Manila capacity on its radar.
"Our Manila service and low fares offering has consistently been well supported by both the leisure and the
business traveler so we are delighted to supplement our schedule with these new weekly services," Ms Chong
said.
"Operating from Terminal 1 at Singapore Changi provides easy, convenient access for travellers and
provides seemless connectivity options for our Qantas and future interline passengers."
Earlier this year, Jetstar Asia signed an interline agreement with Qantas and will pursue further interline
agreements with other carriers.
Jetstar Asia / Valuair Chief Executive Officer Ms Chong Phit Lian said today's launch of the new Manila
services come as the low fares carrier also announces new services from Singapore to Phuket in Thailand as
part of a 46 per cent growth in capacity planned for the next 12 months.
"In the coming 12 months, Jetstar plans to increase existing capacity from Singapore by 46 per cent,
supported by the arrival of three additional A320 aircraft to our fleet based in our rapidly expanding Singapore
hub.
"We look forward to continuing this trend of rapid growth for the benefit of consumers seeking low fares
across the Southeast Asia region," she said.
