Jetstar increases Singapore - Kuala Lumpur services
Jetstar Asia has announced that from Dec-08, they will be increasing their services between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur from 7 times weekly to 19 times weekly.

 

This announcement follows the full liberalization of the SIN-KUL market.

When asked on the impact of the full liberalisation of the market for low cost carriers, CEO Chong Phit Lian said ... “It is definitely good news. The service 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 services have thus been very well-received since we commenced daily services from February 1 this year.

"Currently, with only one service daily, our load factor has already exceeded our expectations with seats filling more than 65% on average.

"The liberalisation of the market would mean that we can provide more convenience and connectivity for passengers between two closely-knit cities.”
