Budget carrier Jetstar Asia will take over operations of Valuair flights between Singapore and its four ports in Indonesia from Sunday (Oct 26).
This follows the lifting of operating restrictions for foreign low cost carriers (LCCs) by the Indonesian government, Jetstar Asia said in a press release on Friday (Oct 24).
It added that it will continue operating up to 52 return services between Singapore and Indonesia, with no changes to the current schedule. Flights operated under the Valuair "VF" flight code will now be operated with the Jetstar Asia "3K" code.
“It’s business as usual for our flights between Singapore and Indonesia,” Jetstar Asia CEO Barathan Pasupathi said.
“Operating under the one brand with one airline code will further streamline and simplify customer communications particularly for our growing number of Indonesia passengers travelling with us through Singapore to one of the other 18 Jetstar Asia destinations.”
Jetstar Asia currently has a fleet of 18 180-seat Airbus A320 aircraft, and flies from Singapore to Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya and Denpasar (Bali). Valuair when launched in 2004 was the first low-cost airline in Singapore, but was acquired the next year by Jetstar Asia.
