Our commitment to our customers
I
n the last two months, Jetstar Asia had received numerous encouraging and positive affirmations from customers and the industry for our commitment to customer service and airline punctuality. The Institute of Service Excellence in Singapore, as part of the Singapore Management University, rated Jetstar Asia top in customer satisfaction amongst all Singapore carriers in 2017, while independent digital flight data analysts OAG listed Jetstar Asia as the only airline in Asia Pacific to receive a five-star rating for punctuality, ahead of other airlines in Singapore. The annual study measures on-time performance based on arrivals within 15 minutes of the scheduled time. As the study reports, Jetstar Asia has 86.4 per cent of flights arriving on time. Despite several factors like airport congestion and weather that would cause inadvertent delays for all airlines, at Jetstar, we have invested in Technology, Processes and our People to make
travel more reliable and seamless for our customers. We understand that getting you to your destination on time is important all-year round and with school holidays around the corner, we will endeavour to do so, bearing in mind your safety as our top priority. This November, we will start operating services to three new destinations: Hat Yai in Thailand, Okinawa in Japan and Clark in the Philippines. We are also delighted to hear from you that our onboard meals are getting tastier, and come December, do look out for new flavours and tastes on our menus as well as upcoming Christmas promotions. Thank you for your continued support, we wish all of you a festive holiday season. Have a safe and enjoyable flight!
