Tuesday, 16 June 2009
Australia's low fares airline Jetstar is to further expand its Perth short haul international operations with the announced move to a daily service on the popular Perth-Denpasar (Bali)* route effective 13 August 2009.
Jetstar currently operates four times weekly A320 low fare flying between Perth and Bali having entered the route on 27 October 2008.
The value based carrier's emerging international hub in Perth now supports direct services to Singapore (daily), Bali (4 moving to a daily* service) and Jakarta (existing 3 times weekly) as part of its near Asian international growth strategy.
The introduction of three additional weekly Perth-Bali* return flights will also complement recently announced daily 'through' connections by Jetstar to Singapore* via Denpasar (Bali) and Jakarta commencing 14 July 2009.
These international through connections from Perth will offer even greater choice and full connectivity options for passengers travelling onto Europe with Qantas via Singapore.
As part of Jetstar Group changes, Jetstar Asia will in the future operate the Perth*-Jakarta-Singapore route, reverting to a two times weekly service also from 13 August 2009 with a like fleet of A320 aircraft.
