Singapore's Changi Airport will increase its international low-cost carrier (LCC) flights with the introduction of Jetstar Asia services to Indonesia and Tigerair services to India from early December.
Jetstar Asia has introduced a new 3X-weekly schedule to Indonesia's PLM (Sumatra) from Changi. This will be the only LCC service flying direct between the two cities. The schedule will use Airbus A320 aircraft, and adds to the carrier's recent introduction of a Changi-Pekanbaru schedule.
The other Singapore-based LCC -- Singapore Airlines subsidiary Tigerair -- has concurrently introduced a new Changi-North India service flying to LKO (Lucknow). The 3X-weekly service will also use Airbus A320 aircraft, and will be Tigerair's sixth Indian destination.
Changi has seen a significant increase in its LCC traffic in recent months, which is "boosted by more passengers opting to travel by low-cost airlines following a period of depressed demand," according to the airport.
In September, Changi reported its highest ever passenger figures achieved in a single quarter at 14.3 million passengers.
