Travel Directly To Redang Island From Singapore

Getting To Redang Island: The Old Way

Prior to this airline service, the journey to Redang Island from Singapore could take up to 6 hours! Holidaymakers would have to depart from Changi Airport and transit at Kuala Lumpur before boarding a domestic flight to Kuala Terengganu. Then, they'd have to take 45-minute ferry ride to Redang Island. That's a pretty long journey! ? P.S. Staycay By The Beach In This Tiny House At Terengganu, Malaysia!

Berjaya Airline's New Redang Island Service

Now, travellers from Singapore can instead head to Seletar Airport for a flight over to Redang Island by charter airline Berjaya Air. This route cuts down the travel time for Singapore-based travellers by 4-5 hours!  ? Taking approximately 1h and 20 minutes, you can now forego lugging your luggage from vehicle to vehicle, and instead, sit back, relax and enjoy the view.

The flights between Singapore and Redang Island will be run by an ATR 42-500 aircraft fitted with a special livery to promote sea turtle conservation on Redang Island. Nicknamed the ''Jojo Flight'' after resident turtle Jojo of Taaras Beach & Spa Resort, now you can enjoy a trip to Redang and also save the turtles ?Can't wait to travel already?

Flight Prices

Berjaya Air is a charter operator, which means that they do not operate on scheduled flights. If you'd like a direct flight over, you’ll have to book a flight with an accommodation package or charter a flight to The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort. Packages offered by The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort include the flight + room package which starts from MYR6,288 nett / SGD$2,096 nett per person per package. Although pricier than the old route, it's perfect for the island vacay or honeymoon you deserve!

That being said, staying at The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort with their Enchanting Redang Escapade package means you get to enjoy 3 nights' stay inclusive of a hygiene pack, a turtle discovery snorkelling experience (and other activities), a flight from Singapore to Redang, and more! Guests will also have access to the Seletar Business Aviation Centre and be entitled to a 15-kilogram check-in luggage allowance per person, express boarding, as well as refreshments on board. ? P.S.
