STARTING July 31, 2025, Singapore’s low-cost airline, Jetstar Asia Airways, will permanently cease all operations. The parent company, Qantas Airways, made the official announcement on Wednesday (06/11), 2025, June 11, 2025. The main reasons for the closure are increasing operational costs and intense regional competition.
This decision marks the end of Jetstar Asia’s two-decade journey. The airline is based in Singapore. Jetstar Asia operates a fleet of 13 Airbus A320s and serves 16 intra-Asian routes. These include various Indonesian cities, one of which is the Singapore-Bali round-trip route.
“The cessation of Jetstar Asia operations will reduce the frequency of flights on the Singapore route,” said Wahyudi, Acting General Manager of Angkasa Pura I I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport Bali, on Saturday, (06/14), 2025.
Despite the cessation of operations, he added that flights at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport Bali are generally running normally. Currently, there is an average of 12 flights on the Singapore route.
“With the end of Jetstar Asia operations, the Singapore route will have an average of nine flights per day,” said Wahyudi.
I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport serves Jetstar Asia (3K) and Jetstar Airways (JQ) flights. Jetstar Asia (3K) only serves one international route, from Singapore to Bali, with four daily flights.
Meanwhile, Jetstar Airways (JQ) serves seven Australian cities: Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.
Wahyudi concluded that the airline will immediately contact prospective passengers who have booked Jetstar Asia flight tickets to fly from and to Bali. They will be given the option of a refund or a flight change. [kompas.com/photo special]
