| Jetstar takes off on Singapore - Darwin
- Cairns route Jetstar has launched daily services between Australia
and Singapore officially taking over the Qantas Group operations on the
Singapore – Darwin – Cairns route.
The daily A320 return service has replaced the Qantas service operating 5
times weekly and boosts Qantas Group seat capacity on the route by almost
10%
Jetstar’s Australian operations will take responsibility for marketing
the services and utilise existing traffic rights. Qantas will codeshare on
all flights.
This offers Qantas Codeshare customers a ground and inflight product that
includes through passenger check-in and baggage interlining to Qantas
domestic and international flights, a complimentary hot meal and full bar
service.
Jetstar Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce said Jetstar’s growth onto the
Singapore-Darwin-Cairns route follows the consolidation and alignment of
Jetstar’s branding and sales distribution for both carriers’ operations
since July.
“Jetstar will fly directly into Darwin and one stop to Cairns through a
return daily service from Singapore. We believe that greatly enhances the
ability for tourism providers across northern Australia to attract more
international visitors to our shores, supported by our low fares.” Mr Joyce
said.
“All ticketing for Jetstar services from Australia to Singapore will only
be sold to international outbound passengers.”
Video on demand units will be available on these services at a cost of
A$10 per passenger.
All Qantas Club members flying Jetstar will have access to Qantas
operated lounges where available at international airports. At Darwin
International Airport, international departing passengers can use the
domestic Qantas Club lounge. |
