JETSTAR Asia has unveiled a new link to Phuket from Australia, while also tweaking its flight frequencies on some routes ahead of the year-end travel season.
Beginning December 14, Jetstar will commence twice-weekly direct flights from Melbourne to Phuket. This will be upped to three times weekly in March 2014.
Jetstar Group CEO, David Koczkar, said: “We see a lot of customers booking flights to Phuket via Sydney or Singapore, so we’ve decided to add a non-stop flight for Victorians.”
The LCC’s Melbourne-Honolulu service will also receive a boost on December 19, with frequencies to rise from three to four times a week.
Singapore flights will also increase from five to six times a week on December 18.
Earlier in the week, Jetstar also announced that the first international flights out of Adelaide would take off on December 16 with the launch of a thrice-weekly service to Auckland.
On the other hand, Jetstar would be suspending its four weekly direct services between Singapore and Osaka on November 1 as well as its thrice-weekly Singapore-Beijing route from November 30.
However, the carrier would continue to serve Osaka from Singapore via 14 weekly flights to Taipei and four per week to Manila.
