Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) I did some dummy bookings, but all shown was flights with transit in SIN. BKI-SIN-PER with 3K and JQ. Not direct non stop flights BKI-PER. Anyone with a different result? Plus, I don't think 3K is given a 5th freedom right to operate in BKI. The ASEAN open sky policy is only applicable to capital cities of ASEAN, where Kota Kinabalu is not. Should BKI-PER flights materialised, it should be operated by JQ, with the flights originating from PER and not 3K. Apparently, all Jetstar's Malaysian destinations (except KCH) are paired with PER in the booking drop down menu (KUL, BKI and PEN to both PER and SIN, while only SIN for KCH).

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 As always, devil's in the details. Tiger is just offering a one ticket service. You still have to stop in SIN and change planes. Even SGN, for e.g. is offered to KUL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reyneo 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Not to worry... Jetstar (JQ) has agreed with the NT government to base more aircraft there as part of a deal to expand Darwin's airport (IIRC, one more bird by Q4 2009 and a 3 or 5 more in 2011). This means that Jetstar will add more SEA destinations from Darwin... and there were discussions a while back, KUL is unlikely with D7's widebody non-stop flights killing the competition, so there was talk about Manila, Cebu, BKI & KCH being possibilities... But again, these are purely rumors (the destinations are rumors, but the 'more aircraft being based there for Asian ops' part was official), and the deal to expand Darwin were signed before the economy crisis, so we can't be sure if the expansion deal is still on. On the up side, JQ is supporting the expansion of 3K by seeding a new A320 to it on 1st Oct! The new plane will operate a 3rd daily flight to BKK and a 2nd daily flight to PEN. And there are still slots on this new plane to operate to some yet unannounced destinations or increase frequencies on existing routes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
