Jetstar to Launch Guangzhou Flights

Jetstar has added Guangzhou to its growing number of mainland China destinations.

Jetstar will start a daily service to Guangzhou from 22 December 2011, with the addition of its 16th Airbus A320 aircraft to its growing hub in Singapore.

Jetstar Asia Chief Executive Officer Ms Chong Phit Lian said Guangzhou, one of Singapore’s closest trade and tourism partners, was an important next step in Jetstar’s expansion into China.

“Our commitment to Singapore-China routes over the past two years has made Jetstar the fastest growing carrier between the two countries. We increased our mainland China capacity by 300% in 2010 and we expect it will rise a further 150% in 2011 to unlock the latent travel demand that low fares create,” said Ms Chong.

Jetstar currently offers services to Guilin, Hangzhou, Haikou, Ningbo, Shantou, Hong Kong, Taipei and Macau. Flights to Beijing start 24 November 2011, subject to regulatory approvals.

An all-inclusive one-way Economy Starter sale fare of Sin$98 runs until 19 October 11.59pm Singapore time. The sale is valid for travel from 22 December 2011 until 17 January 2012; 7 February until 7 March 2012; and 11 April until 23 May 2012. Terms and conditions apply.
