Jetstar flying 8 routes from Singapore in September 2020

Singapore’s smallest airline Jetstar Asia continues to slowly build its passenger flight network this month, adding flights to and from Phnom Penh in Cambodia, however planned service launches to both Yangon and Medan in August did not go ahead.

In total the airline flew to just three destinations from late April 2020 through to mid-August 2020, having been completely grounded for close to a month.

Although nine routes were planned in the last couple of weeks of August 2020, seven actually materialised with the airline adding Clark, Ho Chi Minh, Jakarta and Penang to its existing Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Manila flights.

September 2020

This month Jetstar Asia will add Phnom Penh to its passenger network, for a total of eight destinations from Singapore.

Flights between Singapore and both Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh continue to operate with cargo only, carrying passengers on their return legs to Singapore, due to government-imposed border restrictions.

Based on FlightRadar24 data over the last week, Jetstar Asia is flying three of its 18 Airbus A320s.

Overall Jetstar Asia will operate 120 flights in September 2020, 105 of which will carry passengers. The airline usually operates 2,400 flights per month, based on September 2019 data.

October onwards

Jetstar is still loading almost its full normal flight schedule from 1st October 2020 onwards, however this is subject to significant further reductions based on the COVID-19 situation closer to the time.

We expect a similar schedule of routes will continue to operate next month.

Summary

While Singapore Airlines, SilkAir and Scoot can all benefit from intra-group transit traffic through Changi Airport, Jetstar instead relies heavily on feeder traffic from Qantas flights to support much of its activity in the region.

With the Australian carrier suspending all international operations until well into next year, Jetstar in Singapore will have to take slim pickings from the point-to-point passenger demand market. That currently represents a very small level due to strict border restrictions and effectively an almost total ban on leisure travel.

Nonetheless Jetstar Asia has expanded to around 5% of its usual capacity by flight volumes and will serve eight cities this month, albeit on a much reduced schedule.
