Who owns Jetstar Asia?
Jetstar Asia was launched more than 20 years by Qantas, but has recently faced stiff competition from other low-cost carriers and a hike in operating costs.
The Singaporean low-cost airline is headquartered at Changi Airport.
"We are incredibly proud of the Jetstar Asia team and the work they have done to deliver low fares, strong operational performance and exceptional customer service," Vanessa Hudson said.
