TWICE DAILY FLIGHTS: BKK-SING
Jetstar Asia to commence daily flights to Singapore on March 23rd, tickets on sale tomorrow
Jetstar Asia confirmed today that it would begin services between Bangkok and Singapore with the introduction of two daily flights commencing March 23, 2005.
Jetstar Asia will celebrate the introduction of its Bangkok-Singapore service with fabulous launch period fares starting from just 720 Baht each way for bookings made between March 3rd and March 16th, travelling through May 27th.
“Bangkok and Singapore remain two of the top business and tourist destinations in the region, and both are incredibly popular destinations with Singaporeans and Thais alike,” said Jetstar Asia’s head of marketing, Ms. Dorit Grueber. “From weekend treats to week-long shopping trips, the demand for travel between the Thai capital and Singapore has continued to rise throughout the past several years and we’re confident of being able to help even more people across the region experience the delights, adventures and wonderful cultural offerings both cities offer in such abundance,” she added.
To accommodate the flights between Bangkok and Singapore each day, Jetstar Asia has decided to suspend its daily service to Pattaya in order to better utilise its existing fleet of aircraft. “We were thrilled to be the first international carrier serving Pattaya and certainly look forward to resuming those services at some point,” remarked Greg Thompson, VP Operations. “With a limited number of aircraft available to us, we made the tough decision to redirect our assets towards serving a route that continues to see growth in demand, and we look forward to continue flying between Singapore and Thailand, but now via daily flights to Bangkok.”
Bookings can be made via the Jetstar Asia website at www.jetstarasia.com; the call centre at (02) 651-9545 or by contacting Holiday Tours & Travel at (02) 236-2800 or 234-0031.
