Jetstar Asia has more than 50% business travellers on some of its morning regional services

Jetstar Asia CEO Barathan Pasupathi, speaking at the CAPA Asia Aviation Summit, said (23-Nov-2015) the carrier has more than 50% business travellers on some of its morning regional services such as Singapore-Kuala Lumpur, Singapore-Jakarta and Singapore-Bangkok. Mr Pasupathi noted: "More and more customers in this market are switching to LCCs… Business travellers are bundling a business experience with a leisure experience and breaking their business journey to have a leisure experience." Mr Pasupathi added: "We've we've reached a certain level of maturity [in the corporate market] and we're not going to cannibalise the market," continuing: "We can grow together to grow the market. A lot of TMCs weren't working with LCCs because f the ease of booking and there was no incentive."
