• First Japanese low cost carrier to operate direct services from three Japanese ports to Manila
• Travellers from Japan will now have up to seven services a week to fly to Manila
• 2,000 seats available at a special sale of JPY990

Jetstar Japan, Japan’s largest low cost carrier, today announced that it would bring its low fares services from Narita, Osaka and Nagoya to Manila, the bustling capital city in the Philippines.

Fares on up to up to 18 flights between Japan and Manila have gone on sale.

From mid-March, the new routes from Narita Airport in Tokyo and Chubu Airport in Nagoya to Manila will offer customers the choice of up to seven direct services a week from 15 March and 1 April respectively.

From 7 April, Jetstar Japan will introduce three new weekly services from Osaka – complimenting the existing four weekly services schedule currently provided by sister airline, Jetstar Asia.

This is welcome news to Japanese customers in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka as Manila is a popular year-round destination with its wide selection of shopping, leisure activities as well as vibrant arts, entertainment and gaming.

The flights are expected to meet demand from Japanese travellers, and Filipino expatriates residing in Japan as well as Filipino holiday-makers or visiting family members who now have a low fares travel option to Japan.

The new services will not only add greater convenience to customers in Japan but the routes will also offer all travellers from Japan, the opportunity to connect to the Jetstar Group’s broader network in Southeast Asia and beyond.

To kick off the launch of the services, Jetstar Japan will make available 2,000 seats at a special sale fare of JPY990 from the three destinations to Manila from 4pm today.

The city of Manila will be the third international destination added to Jetstar Japan’s growing network of international destinations after Hong Kong and Taipei in 2015.

The new services will be operated on Jetstar Japan’s 180-seat Airbus A320.

With the addition of services to Manila, Jetstar Japan now operates more than 100 services daily and flies to 17 domestic destinations in Japan and three international destinations.
