Jetstar Asia is counting down the days until it
moves operations from Singapore Changi Airport’s T1 to T4.
The airline continues to conduct operational
tests and has also completed a number of orientation flights from Terminal 4, ahead of its
official move on 22 March 2023.
On 9 March, for example, Jetstar Asia flight 3K512
from Bangkok arrived in Singapore at Changi Airport’s T4 at 12:55,
while 3K513 departed from Singapore to Bangkok later that evening
at 19:15.
“Following the initial orientation flights, we’ve
worked with our airline partners to increase the frequency of
shuttle services, both airside and landside, to ensure customers
can quickly and easily transfer between terminals from our new
home at T4,” said Captain Geof Lui, Jetstar Asia Head of Flight
Operations. “To ensure a smooth experience for our customers,
these operational trials included system testing at every stage of
the journey, from check-in through to boarding to clearing
customs. As we approach our move date, we continue to perform
operational tests covering crew communications and procedures,
ensuring our entire team is ready to welcome our customers to T4
on 22 March.”
Jetstar Asia will initially operate more than 230
weekly services in and out of T4, to and from key destinations in
Southeast Asia including Bali (Denpasar), Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala
Lumpur, Manila and Phnom Penh.
Jetstar Airways will also operate from T4 and
continue to fly between Singapore and Melbourne up to six times a
week with the popular route being operated by the Boeing 787
Dreamliner, carrying more than 200,000 passengers each year
between the two cities.
