Jetstar Asia Airways has adjusted its Clark flight schedules from 27 March 2018, when it adds the new direct flight from Clark to Osaka Kansai. Passengers from Singapore departing for Clark have to arrive in Changi Airport a day before for on-time check-in procedures.

On 27 March 2018, Jetstar Asia flight 3K777 departs from Singapore for Clark at 2.20 am, transits in Clark at 6 am for Clark-bound passengers to alight before leaving Clark for Osaka Kansai at 7 am, arriving in Osaka at 11.55 am.

At 12.55 pm on 27 March 208, flight 3K778 takes off from Osaka Kansai at 12.55 pm, touches down in Clark at 4.15 pm for Clark-bound passengers to alight before departing from Clark for Singapore at 5.15 pm and arriving in Singapore at 8.55 pm.

Flights to Clark and Osaka Kansai are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, Jetstar Asia's direct flight from Singapore to Clark remains unchanged. Flight 3K779 leaves Singapore for Clark at 2.15 am, arrives in Clark at 6 am before leaving Clark for Singapore at 6.40 am and touching down in Singapore at 10.20 am under flight 3K780.

Commenting on the addition of flights from Singapore to Osaka, Jetstar Asia Airways said there are together 20 weekly flights to Osaka, including services via Taoyuan, the gateway to Taipei.

Jetstar Asia Airways advised its customers to book its flights now or earlier than 1 July 2018 as customers booking for travel on and after 1 July 2018 have to pay for the increase in Singapore airport fees by 13.30 Singapore Dollars. This amount includes the Changi Airport development levy of 10.80 Singapore Dollars for departing from Changi Airport and passenger service and security fee of 2.50 Singapore Dollars. Passengers transiting in Changi Airport have to pay a further 3 Singapore Dollars, resulting in the airport fee and surcharges of 16.30 Singapore Dollars.

Jetstar Asia Airways and its sister airlines within Jetstar Group envisages a fall in demand from its customers for departing from Changi Airport on and after 1 July 2018 as the introductions of a higher departure tax, passenger service, security fee and transiting fee will compel the airline group to "shift flights around" to Hong Kong and Haikou to cope with changes in travel demand to ensure that the prices its customers have to pay are lower than its competitors including Scoot and AirAsia.
