Starting July 8, 2013, Jetstar Asia will add eight additional weekly flights from Singapore to Bangkok to meet the growing demand from both leisure and business travelers.
By then, Jetstar Asia will operate five daily flights from Singapore to the City of Angels—Bangkok. This means Jetstar Asia will add 2,800 seats per week connecting these two popular Southeast Asian gateways.
Jetstar Asia CEO Barathan Pasupathi stated that Bangkok and other Thai cities have consistently been among the largest markets in their Southeast Asian network.
Barathan Pasupathi said: “There is strong demand in the Thai leisure travel market. Furthermore, an increasing number of business travelers are favoring our low-fare services and our expanding flight network. We are increasing our capacity to Bangkok to meet their needs. In 2012 alone, we carried over two million passengers on this route, an increase of 30% compared to 2011.”
He added: “With five daily flights, we provide more leisure travelers with more convenient and flexible options. This will benefit both those departing from Singapore and those connecting through Jetstar Asia's hub in Singapore via other airlines in the group.”
With the new flights in service, the Jetstar Group will operate 106 weekly flights to Thailand, including routes from Singapore to Phuket, Sydney to Phuket, Melbourne to Bangkok, and Singapore to Bangkok.
One-way economy class fares from Singapore to Bangkok start at 2,699 Thai Baht (approximately 550 RMB) including taxes.
