A Singaporean couple, both intrepid travellers, marked the low-fare carrier Jetstar's inaugural flight from Singapore to Shantou, Province Guangdong, China, Tuesday by tying their nuptial knots on board the aircraft.

Rachel Chan and Alvin Lim exchanged their marriage vows in the presence of a Justice of Peace on board flight 3K 823 in front of family members and passengers.

Shantou is Jetstar Asia's 20th destination and second to mainland China after it began the four times weekly direct Singapore-Haikou flights in the Hainan Province from Dec 16 last year.

Jetstar Asia is the first foreign carrier to operate international flights into Shantou Waisha Airport in China's Guangdong Province.

Jetstar will fly the new route three times weekly between Shantou Waisha Airport and Singapore's Changi Airport.
