Jetstar Asia has opened ticket sales for a four-times weekly service to
Phuket that will commence on 25 October 2005. To celebrate the launch,
Jetstar Asia is offering a special fare of Sin$22 for travel up to December
15. Thereafter, everyday low fares will start from Sin$48.
Jetstar Asia service 3K 517 will depart from Changi Airport in
Singapore at 7:05am arriving in
Phuket at 7:45am every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The return
leg will depart Phuket at 8:45am, arriving in Singapore at 11:25am.
“Phuket is one of the great tourist destinations. With rebuilding almost
complete, we are confident that demand will grow, occupancy rates of hotels
will continue to increase, and our new service will make commercial sense,”
said Mr Ken Ryan, CEO of Jetstar Asia.
Ms Eumporn Jiragalwisul, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand added,
“We are very glad that Jetstar Asia made the decision to fly to Phuket. With
the additional flights, it will definitely help to bring in more visitors
from Singapore and the Asia Pacific region to Phuket and its surrounding
provinces, such as Phang Nga, Khao Lak and
Krabi,
which will give the tourism industries there an added boost. The new flights
are indeed timely to give the Andaman area a higher capacity for tourist
arrivals in the upcoming high season.”
