Low fares leader Jetstar Asia has announced expansion of Thailand services with a new double daily Singapore to Phuket offering from 15 December 2009 joining a new third daily Singapore to Bangkok service from 27 September 2009.
The company confirms three additional daily services between Singapore and Thailand, which represents Jetstar’s most significant expansion of services to Thailand.
“Phuket will become our 18th destination from Singapore and provides not only Singaporeans low fares access to this popular Thai destination but will work well for passengers travelling through Singapore from Australia or other parts of the Jetstar network and for Qantas interline passengers travelling from Europe,” said Jetstar Asia and Valuair Chief Executive Officer Ms Chong Phit Lian.
“These new low fares services will provide fresh new travel opportunities for passengers and a great new capacity boost to local Thai tourism,” she said.
The new services come as the carrier confirms it will welcome an additional three A320 aircraft into its Singapore fleet of an existing seven aircraft over the next year.
The new Thailand services will deliver over 7,000 seats of new capacity into and out of Thailand.
This is in addition to Jetstar Asia’s existing twice daily A320 operations between Singapore and Bangkok and Jetstar Australia’s services between Sydney and Phuket three times weekly and between Melbourne and Bangkok three times weekly both with wide-bodied A330-200 aircraft.
To celebrate, Jetstar is having a special sale with Jetsaver Light fares (carry on luggage only) from Phuket to Singapore for 299 baht. The sale will start at 12 noon on Friday 21 August 2009 and will end on Saturday 22 August 2009, unless seats sell out prior.
Sale fares are available for travel 12 January – 9 February 2010, 23 February – 10 March 2010, 23 March – 26 May 2010. Fares are subject to availability and are not available on all flights all days.
