Jetstar unveils new routes, services
SINGAPORE: Jetstar on Tuesday announced new routes and services, which would add 8,500 seats weekly for the budget carrier's hub here.
The extra capacity includes more than 40 new weekly services added to destinations in Australia, Japan, Vietnam and China.
Jetstar announced a second daily service on the Singapore-Taipei-Osaka route and three new weekly services between Singapore and Darwin, bringing the weekly flights to 10.
As part of network changes announced Tuesday, Jetstar will suspend services between Singapore and Macau from February 5.
The addition of services on popular routes would be crucial in helping the budget carrier build up a "critical mass" across the Asia-Pacific, said Jetstar Group chief executive Bruce Buchanan.
He added: "The growth in low-fare services from our Singapore hub is creating new travel demand in the region, which then fuels more growth and gives us economies of scale to keep the low fares coming."
While the budget carrier will be focusing on building its Vietnam presence and a new network with Jetstar Japan, Mr Buchanan said the goal is to be the "No 1 low-cost carrier in all of the markets" it operates in.
