Jetstar Asia Says 'Really High Cost Increases' in Singapore Affected Business
- On June 11, 2025, Qantas Airways announced it will cease operations of its budget carrier Jetstar Asia, headquartered in Singapore, with all flights ending by July 31.
- Qantas attributed the closure of Jetstar Asia to increasing expenses from suppliers, elevated airport charges, and intense competition within the regional market.
- Jetstar Asia, which served 16 routes from Singapore’s Changi Airport, will be shut down, and its 13 Airbus A320 aircraft will be reassigned to operations in Australia and New Zealand.
- Qantas expects the closure to release up to A$500 million for reinvestment in core businesses but will incur a one-off financial hit of approximately A$175 million.
- The shutdown will result in up to 500 job losses in Singapore, while Qantas and Singapore authorities work to support affected employees with redundancy benefits and new employment opportunities.
