Jetstar announced it will commence daily A320 services between Perth †Singapore* on 2-Dec-08, with special fares launched today for AUD129, all inclusive one way.
Singapore will become the third international destination to be serviced by Jetstar from Perth, with Perth-Jakarta* and Perth-Denpasar (Bali)* services to commence in October.
For a limited time only, Jetstar is offering special one-way web sale fares of AUD129 for customers booking Perth-Singapore at Jetstar.com (Australian point of sale only). The sale fares are available from 12.00 pm (AWST) 11-Jul-08 until 21.59 pm (AWST) 11-Jul-08 unless seats sell out prior.
The special offer is for travel between 2-Dec-08 – 15-Dec-08 and 3-Feb – 31-Mar-09*. Fares are subject to availability and are not available on all flights or days. Sale terms and conditions are available via Jetstar.com. The sale fares are available at Australian point of sale only* and are for JetSaver Light fares.
All day, every day low fares will start from AUD199 for all-inclusive, one-way JetSaver Light fares on the Perth-Singapore route.
Like on all Jetstar routes, Jetstar is committed to offering the lowest fares on its Perth services.
Jetstar Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce said the new route would be covered by Jetstar’s Double the Difference Price Guarantee, which applies to all Jetstar routes.
Mr Joyce said,“Low fares leadership is at the core of our offering to Western Australia. We believe we have the lowest lead-in airfare in the market. Our Double the Difference Price Guarantee is a demonstration of our commitment to delivering low fares that allow more people to travel more often.”.
Any customer who books a lower fare on an alternative airline on the same route at a comparative time, receives a Jetstar travel voucher worth double the difference.
Mr Joyce said that by the end of the year Jetstar would offer 14 weekly international services from Perth to South East Asia, operated by A320 aircraft seat configured for 177 passengers in one class.
“Perth has been flagged as an important new port for Jetstar as we look to expand our Pan Asian blueprint and link more operations from Australia into our sister networks from Jetstar Asia and Jetstar Pacific,” he said.
“The Perth-Singapore market continues to be the third biggest international route in Australia in terms of traffic and has continued to grow at over 13 per cent over the last year.
“Singapore is the biggest source of South East Asian traffic to Australia and this, combined with the strong Western Australian economy, shows great potential for the Jetstar brand,” Mr Joyce said.
Jetstar’s commitment to offering West Australians the most competitively priced international airfares is demonstrated by the low fares airline’s first sale to mark the commercial launch of the Perth-Singapore* route.
Mr Joyce said Jetstar was looking forward to establishing a positive relationship with the West Australian community as the airline continued to establish its connections and grow its services from the city.
“These new international services to Singapore*, Jakarta* and Denpasar (Bali)* are in addition to our existing double daily domestic services between Melbourne and Perth, including individual daily direct flights from both Melbourne and Melbourne Avalon airports.
“We expect that our flights will be extremely popular with West Australians seeking the best value-for-money airfares when travelling to South East Asia for leisure or business,” Mr Joyce said.
Mr Joyce said Jetstar’s short haul fleet growth over the next few years would continue to be focused on broadening the Jetstar footprint in the region.
“Perth will play an important role in this expansion and this new flight is a strategic next step,” he said.
The Perth-Singapore* service is in addition to Jetstar’s existing twice daily services between Singapore and Darwin.
