The airline flagged that the announcement would be made in Beijing by Jetstar chief executive Bruce Buchanan and Jetstar Asia boss Chong Phit Liang. It is understood that the new service will link Beijing to the fast-growing Melbourne market, via Singapore. Other media reports have flagged that the new PEK service will be an extension of the existing MEL-SIN JQ7/8 service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC Sim 2 Report post Posted July 13, 2011 The transit time in Singapore for passengers travelling from Melbourne to Beijing is quite ok ... but for those flying from Beijing to Melboune, the transit time in Singapore is almost 12 hours! Changi Airport and the Singapore Tourism Board will have to lay out more coaches for the complimentary city tour for these people. KC Sim In a very warmped way of doing things. Jetstar has issued an invitation to the media to attend a press conference this Friday ... HINTING that there is a very exciting announcement pertaining to a new destination from Singapore. And today - two days ahead of that press conference - it sent out a press release about special fares for the Melbourne - Singapore - Beijing service!!! Talk about being shot in the leg by a gun held by oneself ... wonder what is left for Jetstar's CEO Bruce Buchanan to announce on Friday. KC Sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
