Whole time director at Jet Airways, Gaurang Shetty says “Jet Airways has seen an enthusiastic response from its guests travelling between Bengaluru and Singapore. We recognise the need for bolstering our existing service and provide guests with additional options to plan their travel. This second daily service will benefit business travellers who are looking at tapping into India and Singapore’s promising commercial opportunities.”

Return economy tickets for the new service will be offered at a discounted rate starting ₹11,768. These special-priced tickets can be booked from February 15, 2018 and are applicable for journeys starting March 15, 2018. The airline hasn’t mentioned an expiry date for this yet.

As per the airline’s press release, the new frequency will offer connecting flights to Denpasar/Bali, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur operated by codeshare partners Garuda and Malaysian Airlines via Singapore.
