Finnair and Jetstar Asia Sign Codeshare Agreement

Finnair and Singapore-based Jetstar Asia have entered into a codeshare agreement which will provide Finnair customers with a wider choice of destinations and departure times across Asia and Australia.

From 15 December 2015, Finnair customers will be able to travel on codeshare services operated by Jetstar Asia to and from its Singapore hub.

Finnair customers will benefit from the convenience of a single ticket itinerary that includes Finnair’s baggage allowance.

Passengers will also enjoy a seamless transfer at Singapore Changi Airport, with baggage being through-checked and onward boarding passes being received at the initial departure point.

Finnair's code will be added to Jetstar Asia's flights between Singapore as well as Penang and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, Phuket in Thailand and Perth and Darwin in Australia.

Jetstar Asia CEO Barathan Pasupathi said, “The collaboration between Jetstar Asia and Finnair is a welcome enhancement towards the codeshare and interline model at Jetstar Asia. The Finnair service from Helsinki will connect to Jetstar Asia’s services at Changi Airport. This will allow customers from Europe to connect via Singapore onwards to Jetstar Asia’s Australasia destinations."

Jetstar Asia is part of the Jetstar Group of airlines and a member of the oneworld Alliance, in which Finnair is a member.
