Singapore-based budget airline Jetstar Asia will close down at the end of July, after a 21-year stint flying across Asia.
Sixteen routes will be impacted by the shutdown, including flights from Singapore to destinations in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
A progressively reduced service will operate over the next seven weeks, and passengers due to travel after July 31 will be contacted to receive a refund. Travellers whose flights are affected will be notified.
Jetstar Asia is advising people who booked through a travel agent to contact them directly, as there may be scope to be moved onto alternative flights operated by the Qantas Group.
The airline was launched in 2004, but has struggled with rising supplier costs, high airport fees and increased competition in the region.
