(Singapore December 13, 2024) Today, Jetstar Asia (3K) celebrates its 20th birthday, marking two decades of connecting people and places across the region with incredible low fares. As one of Asia’s first budget airlines, the Singapore low-cost carrier first took to the skies on 13 December 2004, helping revolutionise air travel for Singaporeans and travellers across Southeast Asia.
Today, Jetstar Asia has flown more than 50 million customers across its expanding network to key metropolitan cities and unique leisure destinations, and remains committed to making air travel more affordable, with more than two-thirds of fares sold for less than $100 last year.
To mark the milestone, Jetstar Asia has launched its 20 Years of Adventure Sale, with one-way fares starting from just SG$70 for flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. Running until 23:59 on 16 December, the epic sale includes incredible deals to popular destinations such as Okinawa, Colombo and Medan with Club Jetstar members enjoying even greater savings.
John Simeone, CEO of Jetstar Asia, said the airline’s 20-year history had been built on its unwavering commitment to helping its customers take off to more places, more often. “Jetstar has helped transform the way people travel with our low fares enabling our customers to jump on a plane to visit family, take that weekend away or that well-deserved holiday, when previously it might not have been an option,” Mr. Simeone said.
“When we first took off in 2004, low-cost travel was a new concept in Singapore, and Jetstar Asia marked a new era of air travel out of Southeast Asia’s biggest hub.
“Today is a celebration of the millions of passengers who have flown with us over the last 20 years and the incredible dedication of our entire team to deliver an exceptional experience each and every time our customers fly.”
Jetstar Asia’s Most Frequent Flyer
As part of the 20th birthday celebrations, Jetstar Asia also recognised its most frequent flyer, Mr. Ban Poon Huat, who has travelled with the airline more than 860 times over the past 20 years. To thank him for his loyalty, Jetstar Asia’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Geof Lui, recently welcomed Mr. Ban at Changi Airport as he returned from his latest trip and presented him with a special Jetstar A320 aircraft model and a pair of return tickets to a destination of his choice as a token of appreciation.
Geof Lui, Jetstar Asia’s Chief Operating Officer, said as we celebrate our birthday, we wanted to say a special thank you to some of our most loyal customers.
“Customers like Mr. Ban have been instrumental to Jetstar Asia’s journey and so we wanted to find a way to show how grateful we are for their continued support,” Mr. Lui said.
