On November 29, Jetstar Asia Airways CEO Barathan Pasupathi visited Governor Denny Tamaki at the prefectural office.
Pasupathi expressed his gratitude for service between Naha and Singapore doing well.
This service route has entered its second year since establishment.
He said, “Okinawa is magical.
It’s full of allure and diversity as a tourist spot.”
Pasupathi also voiced his opinion to utilize Jetstar’s network to extend service routes to tourists from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia.
The said service route is the only direct flight that connects Naha Airport and Singapore Changi Airport.
Service began last November and in the first year, more than 33,000 people used it.
In response to entering its second year since going into service, the number of roundtrip flights increased from three to four times a week starting November 15.
