Jetstar Asia launches 50,000 Free Seats Promotion on Flights between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur

From December 2008, Jetstar Asia will be increasing its flights between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur from 7 times weekly to 19 times weekly. The move follows the full liberalization of the SIN-KUL market.

In celebration, Jetstar Asia is offering passengers 50,000 free seats (not inclusive of surcharges and taxes) for bookings made from 26 September to 3 October 2008 for travel from 1 December 2008 to 31 July 2009.

Jetstar Asia CEO Chong Phit Lian said, “The flight time between Singapore and KL is short and passengers in both cities are very familiar about the benefits of low cost carriers. Our SIN-KUL-SIN flights have thus been very well-received since we commenced daily flights from 1 February this year. Currently, with only one flight daily, our load factor has already exceeded our expectations with seats filling more than 65% on average. The liberalization of the market would mean that we can provide more convenience and connectivity for passengers between two closely-knit cities.”

Jetstar Asia continues to attract passengers by operating out of Changi Airport Terminal One and KLIA’s main terminal. The airline offers free online seat selection, leather seats and a generous free 20-kg luggage allowance.

On Thursday, Tiger Airways launched a 50,000 Free Seats Promotion and today AirAsia also launched a 51,000 Free Seats Promotion.
