Jetstar Asia has this morning announced direct flights between Broome and Singapore, reconnecting Western Australia's north to the bustling south-east Asian hub. 

The Singapore carrier today launched its new route with the seasonal service set to begin operation on June 25.

It will offer two return flights each week until October 26. 

Flights from Broome to Singapore through Silk Air were previously launched in 2018, at a time when the state's tourism industry had experienced a drop in spending from overseas visitors.

Last year, the Broome International Airport sought federal government support to recommence the flights between the Kimberley and Singapore.

The primary barrier to run the international flights was approval to establish permanent, regular border services at the site. 

Broome will be reconnected with Changi International Airport, which will expand the hub's network to eight Australian cities. 

Tickets for the new route will be on sale today, including special one-way fares starting at $145, with the flights to recommence in April next year. 

WA tourism minister Rita Saffioti said the new flight link would expand the state's aviation capacity through the gateway to Asia. 

"This Singapore to Broome service presents an incredible opportunity to turbocharge international visitor numbers to Australia's north west, and inject millions into the region's accommodation, hospitality and tourism businesses," she said. 

Broome International Airport chief executive Craig Shaw said the direct flights would bring the outback town closer to the rest of the world and recognised the region's desirability as a visitor destination. 

"International connections to Broome as the gateway to the Kimberley region have been a long-held ambition for the local tourism industry and the airport," he said. 

"As well as being a game changer for the region in terms of tourism, this new regular connection can support new trade opportunities from the north-west of Australia.

"Connectivity is the key to prosperity and livability for any town."

Jetstar Asia chief executive John Simeone thanked the state government and Broome International Airport for their collaboration and said the route would provide an "incredible" travel experience for visitors. 

"Just over four hours away from Singapore, Broome is an amazing destination for those looking for a holiday of a lifetime," he said.
