Jetstar becomes first LCC to offer service to Beijing as part of pan-Asian expansion

Jetstar will become the first LCC to operate services to Beijing with the launch of daily Melbourne-Beijing via Singapore service from 24-Nov-2011. The service will enable the LCC to take advantage of the growing and lucrative Chinese tourism market with Beijing to become the Jetstar Group’s ninth destination in China. The service also marks a return of Qantas Group to Beijing following Qantas’ withdrawal from the market in early 2009 and builds Jetstar’s Singapore hub network to 23 destinations.
