Jetstar Asia announced that it will become the only low-cost carrier to fly direct from Singapore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, when the new service takes off on 21 November.
The Singapore low-cost carrier will operate five return services each week using their fleet of Airbus A320s, offering more than 90,000 low fares between the two destinations each year.
The split schedule offers morning and evening departures from Changi Airport, providing choice for those starting their journey in Singapore and easy connections for those travelling via Singapore on Jetstar Airways’ (JQ) daily service from Melbourne or the up to six weekly flights from Perth.
To celebrate the announcement, Jetstar Asia has launched one-way sale fares from Singapore to Colombo from just SGD $ 149, making Sri Lanka more accessible than ever. Club Jetstar members have access to even lower fares, starting from SGD $ 139.
Jetstar Asia CEO John Simeone said Colombo was the gateway to Sri Lanka and the perfect destination for those looking for adventure, a romantic getaway or family holiday.
“Sri Lanka is a vibrant destination known for its stunning scenery and warm hospitality and is must-visit place for many,” Simeone said. “With our incredible low fares, we’re excited to enable more people to experience this wonderful country with its stunning beaches, delicious food and fascinating history and culture.”
Today’s announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to introducing exciting new destinations and I want to thank Changi Airport Group, Sri Lanka Tourism, Airport and Aviation Services Sri Lanka and Hayleys for their ongoing support,” he added.
