JetStar Asia to Boost Capacity on Singapore – Taipei

Posted 22/06/2011

Asian low-cost carrier JetStar Asia is to almost double its capacity on the Singapore – Taipei Taoyuan route from August 6.  With effect from August 6, the airline will introduce an additional six weekly flights, increasing to 13 the number of rotations it offers between the two cities. 

There are already over 65 flights per week on the route with China Airlines, EVA Air, Singapore Airlines, Tiger Airways and TransAsia Airways offering flights.  JetStar Asia currently accounts for eleven per cent of the estimated 727,000 O&D traffic, a share that has slipped slightly despite a growth in traffic, due to increased competition on the route. 

This route is dominated by China Airlines and Singapore Airlines which have both seen a strengthening of yields despite the growing competition from low-cost rivals.  The average one-way fare on the route is estimated to be $603, three times more than the $191 thought to be charged by JetStar Asia or fellow budget carrier Tiger Airways.
