Update for Travelers: Jetstar Asia is shutting down its Singapore–Labuan Bajo route on July 31, 2025. But good news, Scoot plans to take over the route by late October. Click here for the full update on Jetstar’s closure and what’s next for Komodo flights from Singapore.
Starting March 2025, Jetstar launches the first-ever direct flights from Singapore to Labuan Bajo, the jump-off point for Komodo National Park. That means no more layovers in Bali, no more backtracking through Jakarta. Just three hours from city to sea, dragons, pink sand beaches, and some of the best diving in Indonesia. Here’s everything you need to know about getting there, fast.
Can you fly directly from Singapore to Labuan Bajo?
Yes. Starting 20 March 2025, Jetstar Asia will operate direct flights from Singapore (Changi Airport) to Labuan Bajo (Komodo Airport) twice a week. This is the first time a direct air route has been established between these two locations, dramatically simplifying travel to Komodo National Park.
Why is this flight a big deal?
Labuan Bajo has long been a dream destination for divers, island-hoppers, and dragon-hunters alike. Until now, getting there from Singapore meant a frustrating hopscotch of layovers through Bali or Jakarta. This direct route cuts the travel time and opens the gates for spontaneous long weekends for Singaporeans and hassle-free charters.
If you’re thinking about diving, sailing, or just beach-lounging in Komodo, this flight makes it all a lot easier.
“With over 37,000 low fare seats available each year, more people will be able to discover this incredible holiday hotspot,” said Jetstar Asia CEO John Simeone.
What is the Jetstar Singapore–Labuan Bajo flight schedule?
Jetstar Asia Flight 3K263 and 3K264 will run twice weekly, departing on Thursdays and Sundays. Perfectly timed for long weekend escapes.
| Flight | Route | Depart | Arrive |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3K263 | Singapore → Labuan Bajo | 14:10 | 17:20 |
| 3K264 | Labuan Bajo → Singapore | 18:00 | 21:10 |
All flights are operated from Changi Airport (SIN) to Komodo Airport (LBJ).
How much do tickets cost?
Introductory fares start from SGD $89 one-way. Club Jetstar members get access to even lower fares. The launch sale runs from 9 January to 13 January 2025, but once that window closes, expect prices to rise depending on demand and season.
Why should Singapore travellers consider Komodo?
If you live in Singapore or Southeast Asia, you now have direct access to:
- World-class diving with manta rays and sea turtles
- Trekking with wild Komodo dragons
- Private yacht charters around untouched islands
- Pink sand beaches and panoramic sunrise hikes
Think of Komodo as Bali’s wild, unpolished cousin. Less crowds. More magic.
