Jetstar muscles in on flights to China

Jetstar says it will be flying non-stop between Australia and China under a new charter arrangement before the end of the year, as it positions itself to take a bigger slice of the booming Chinese market. The airline flies out of 7 Chinese airports to other destinations in Asia but has no flights to Australia. That will change with plans for a new charter service bringing Chinese tourists to Australia on package tours within the next 6 months. "We fly 35 services a week into China through the combination of our airlines and we have a comprehensive plan for the future that sees that continue to grow," Jetstar CE Jayne Hrdlicka said Thursday. "The primary airports in China into the primary destinations throughout the region are very well covered," she said. <br/>
