Jet Airways has signed a code-share agreement with Jetstar Asia for flights from Singapore. Jetstar, the Singapore-based low-cost carrier, will offer further connections for those flying from India on Jet Airways to Singapore. An official release has said that under the code share, Jet Airways will place its marketing code ‘9W’ on Jetstar Asia flights operating from Singapore to 11 destinations across in the Asia Pacific region: Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand, Perth and Darwin in Australia, Jakarta, Denpasar Bali and Surabaya in Indonesia, Ho-Chi-Minh City in Vietnam, Kuala Lumpur and Penang in Malaysia and Hong Kong. The release also says that under this agreement, Jet Airways will extend its code share footprint to three brand new destinations: Darwin, Phuket and Penang. Most importantly, the latest code share will not only strengthen traffic flows via Singapore, but will also offer guests the advantage of twin/tri-city itineraries options through Singapore, either via Bangkok or Hong Kong, owing to code shares on both sectors. The new agreement would make the passenger experience even more seamless and convenient, since one can now fly from India to Singapore with Jet Airways, and further to Hong Kong or Bangkok on a code-shared Jetstar Asia flight, returning to India on Jet Airways directly from Hong Kong or Bangkok, all on a single itinerary.
