Closure of Jetstar Asia

Jetstar 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.

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 laugh.gif

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.

Don't think so, AA Tony did apply to set Singapore as hub but kena singapore government reject. He did see the potential in Singapore LCC.
