Jetstar Pacific unveils international expansion into Thailand and Cambodia

Jetstar Pacific unveils international expansion into Thailand and Cambodia
Jetstar Pacific will expand into international markets for the first time under the Jetstar brand offering daily direct services from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok* (Thailand) and Siem Reap* (Cambodia).

Commencing first services between Ho Chi Minh City -Bangkok* from 31-Oct-08 and between Ho Chi Minh City - Siem Reap* from 03- Nov-08, these services will initially be operated with a fleet of Boeing 737s before transitioning to a future fleet of new Airbus A320s.

Jetstar Pacific has launched its future daily Ho Chi Minh City – Bangkok* and Ho Chi Minh City – Siem Reap* services with special fares now available until 5pm on 10-Sept-08 from USD2 (plus surcharges, fees and taxes) at Jetstar.com and Jetstar Pacific ticketing offices nationwide.

These special launch fares are featured with the airline’s JetSaver Light fare product, which offer customers with the choice to travel for a lower fare with carry on baggage only – to a maximum 7kg.

Jetstar Pacific’s JetSaver fares on its new international routes allow customers to book with a 20 kilogram baggage allowance for 20 USD more per sector flown.

Jetstar Pacific CEO Mr Luong Hoai Nam said the airline’s entry into intra Asian markets of Bangkok and Siem Reap was an exciting development, supporting further expansion of the Jetstar brand across Asia.

Mr Luong Hoai Nam said, “Jetstar Pacific is continuing to positively change and expand air travel in Vietnam and now will bring a fresh approach to flying within Asia,”

“Now making it more affordable for more people to fly within Vietnam, our airline is bringing greater and easier access to exciting international destinations to and from Vietnam.

“Siem Reap and Bangkok are major tourism markets, with existing and projected strong future growth in passenger volumes between these destinations and Vietnam. Both cities represent the logical first stage in Jetstar Pacific’s international growth plans, supported by our future fleet of A320s and the support of its shareholders including the Qantas Group.

“We also expect to take a price leadership position in these international markets from Vietnam to provide even greater choice for travellers. Jetstar is committed to offering the lowest fares on the international markets we fly.”

Customers on Jetstar Pacific’s future international services can also choose to offset their carbon emissions by voluntarily donating to the Jetstar Pacific Carbon Offset Programme, managed by the Vietnam Environmental Protection Fund.

Jetstar Pacific will operate its new international services into the major airports of Suvarnabhumi International in Bangkok and Siem Reap International Airport in Siem Reap, with both daily services operating into the main terminals, similar to other Jetstar branded international flights to these respective cities from Australia and Singapore.

All Jetstar Pacific international services will depart from Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City from the international terminal.
