Closure of Jetstar AsiaJetstar Asia, the Group’s Singapore-based low-cost subsidiary, has faced growing challenges in recent years and the decision has been made, together with majority shareholder Westbrook Investments, to close the airline. Despite delivering exceptional customer service and operational reliability; Jetstar Asia has been impacted by rising supplier costs, high airport fees, and intensified competition in the region. This has fundamentally challenged the low-cost airline’s ability to deliver returns comparable to the stronger performing core markets in the Group. The airline is expected to post a $35 million underlying EBIT loss this financial year, prior to the closure decision. Jetstar Asia will continue to operate flights for the next seven weeks on a progressively reduced schedule, before its final day of operation on 31 July 2025. https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-rel...1%20July%202025Will SG gomen finally allow AirAsia to set up airline there

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Jun 11 2025, 10:51 AM) don't think it's ATC if it's happening everywhere even in their home country of AUS u can go google search "jetstar delay tiktok"...plenty of video so far scoot and airasia still reliable because they have enough plane...so when they say delay, it really means slight delay Qantas/Jetstar used to have an associate airline in Vietnam too - Jetstar Pacific. But it was hammered by the Bikini Airlines, and has been sold to Vietnam Airlines. I guess Qantas really sucks when it comes to overseas venture.
