Jetstar to fly from Singapore to Melbourne, AucklandWednesday, 9 June 2010
Singapore will soon have its first long haul low fare airline, with Jetstar planning to launch daily direct services to Melbourne and Auckland from its Singapore hub.
Subject to regulatory approval, the carrier will start a daily direct Singapore- Melbourne return service from December 16 this year using two wide body A330s.
It will then launch a daily direct Singapore-Auckland return service from March 17 next year. Qantas will codeshare on the new routes.
Jetstar Chief Executive Officer Bruce Buchanan said the connecting of the carrier’s three largest operations in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore would strengthen each of the businesses and build a solid foundation for future growth beyond Singapore to North Asia and Europe.
Sale fares for Melbourne – Singapore flights are available today between 5pm to 7pm and tomorrow between 5am to 5pm.
