Wednesday, February 26, 2020

Jetstar Asia Airways will turn out to be the only low-cost carrier in Singapore to fly direct from the island city-state to Colombo, Sri Lanka when it introduces the new flights on 1st July 2020.

With fares going on sale today, Colombo becomes the 25th destination for Jetstar Asia Airways from Singapore and the first airline in the Qantas Group to fly to the famous hotspot.

In a week, the return service will operate four times with flights services timed to allow greater number of travelers from Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia to get the right to enter this must-see destination by transiting through Changi Airport in Singapore.

Jetstar Asia CEO, Bara Pasupathi, explained that Sri Lanka topped as the most preferred holiday destination lists and Colombo was the perfect gateway to this amazing country.

“As we face an ever-changing aviation and tourism landscape, Jetstar Asia is committed to continuing to open up exciting new destinations for our customers,” Mr. Pasupathi said.

“Colombo and its surrounding area have so much to offer, from the sprawling city, to the beautiful beaches, the incredible food and the many significant cultural, religious and historical landmarks.”

“With our low fares, we’re excited to be able to open up this incredible destination to ensure more people experience all that it has to offer.”

“This market has so much potential, and we’re proud to be working with great partners, including CAG in Singapore and Hayleys in Sri Lanka, to expand the Jetstar network and continue to grow LCC traffic out of Singapore.”

Sri Lanka Tourism Chairperson, Mrs. Kimarli Fernando, added “We are very happy to welcome Jetstar Asia Airways to the most beautiful island in the world; with nature, diverse culture, heritage, wildlife, Ayurveda and strong food culture”.
