On Thursday (December 28, 2023), Jetstar announced that Jetstar Asia’s inaugural flight between Singapore Changi International Airport to Wuxi’s Sunan Shuofang International Airport took to the skies this morning with the departure of flight 3K833.  This is the low-cost carrier’s second destination in mainland China, and the Wuxi route will now operate twice weekly until increasing to four times per week from January 15, 2024.  Jetstar Asia will operate the route with an Airbus A320 Family jet, offering over 70,000 seats between the two destinations annually.

In Thursday’s announcement, Jetstar Asia’s CEO, Barathan Pasupathi, said,

“This year has seen us increase our fleet, expand our network and grow our Jetstar family, so launching a brand-new route to such an important destination is a fitting way to end the year.  China is a critical market for Jetstar and our customers, so it’s great to start flying to Wuxi, our second Chinese port following the successful launch of flights to Haikou early this year.

“We’ve seen strong demand for this route since we announced it in October, especially as borders are open and COVID travel restrictions have been removed.  Our low fares will ensure our customers in China and Singapore can enjoy seamless and affordable connectivity between these two cities, bridging access to the Yangtze River Delta region.  This will not only enhance travel experiences for business and tourism, but also enable families and friends to reconnect.”
