Qantas has confirmed it will shut down its Singapore-based low-cost carrier Jetstar Asia by July 31, citing unsustainable operating costs and ongoing financial losses.

Flights will taper off over the next seven weeks, with 16 intra-Asia routes to be phased out. The closure will not affect Jetstar Airways’ international routes into Asia or Jetstar Japan’s services. All flights in and out of Australia remain unchanged.
