SINGAPORE: Jetstar Asia operations will cease at the end of July, with more than 500 employees and 16 regional routes affected.
The announcement on Wednesday (Jun 11) comes as the airline grapples with increasing supplier costs, high airport fees and rising competition in the region.
It marks an end to over two decades of air travel under the Singapore-based budget airline, whose parent company is Qantas Group.
