Jetstar has continued the expansion of its distribution channels in China with new and convenient initiatives designed to give consumers and the travel trade easier access to Jetstar’s low fares.

Also, with the addition of TravelSky’s Eterm GDS, customers can now access Jetstar’s fares and ancillary products via over 7,000 travel agents across China.

Travel agents in China now have the choice of booking Jetstar via the TravelSky GDS or a new a customised Jetstar trade site, including direct bank debit in RMB for all Jetstar Group airlines flying to China.

Mr Koczkar said this expansion reflected Jetstar’s plan to strengthen its presence in China.
