Jetstar to Start Long-Haul Flights From Singapore
Post by Travel Agency Singapore news
Low-cost carrier Jetstar is planning to start long-haul flights from Singapore to Australia, North Asia and Europe! Exciting news indeed for all travellers!
The first flights are expected at the end of this year 2010 from Singapore’s Changi Airport.
IATA figures say the Asian market is now the largest in the world. Jetstar plans to tap onto this huge growing market and aims to be an Asian success.
How cheap can you expect the airfares to be? A Jetstar spokesman said that the company will try to offer fares that are 30% lower.
Travel Agency Singapore shall be eagerly waiting for further news of these long-haul flights.

No-frills carrier Jetstar signed an agreement last week that will make Singapore its Asian hub. It also signed a 3.5-billion-dollar deal to use greener engines with a plan to expand into long-haul discount flights. These are all part of an ambition to turn the Australian carrier into an Asian carrier with growth in Asia.
Certainly exciting times ahead for travellers. I’m eagerly anticipating more low-cost carriers to more destinations. Personally, I wish these budget airlines will concentrate on the short routes within the ASEAN region first; there are still many more destinations they can reach.
