Jetstar Asia ends 20-year chapter with final flight from Singapore on 31 July
Jetstar Asia operated its final flight from Singapore's Changi Airport on Thursday, 31 July, ending over 20 years of service as a Singapore-based budget airline under the Qantas Group. The last flight, 3K685 to Kuala Lumpur, departed at 2.55 pm and marked an emotional moment for many cabin crew and ground staff who gathered to bid farewell.
Jocelyn Chow, a 61-year-old flight attendant who spent 13 years with the airline, said she couldn't believe it was the last day of Jetstar Asia. "I feel very sad that there's no more Jetstar Asia, and I'm also honoured to know that I'm operating the last flight out of Changi Airport," she added.
Her fellow stewardess Flora Foo, 65, reflected on her 14 years with Jetstar Asia, highlighting the meaningful moments with passengers. She shared that despite it being a "low-cost airline", it was the "little gestures and the simple requests" that made the flight "much more comfortable" for travellers.
She said, "And at the end of the day, when they disembark and just say a thank you to you, it really melts your heart."
As the final flight departed, airport staff lined the tarmac and waved goodbye.
Jetstar Asia announced in June its decision to cease operations by the end of July, leading to the retrenchment of over 500 staff members. CEO John Simeone reported that out of roughly 900 job applications from affected employees, more than half had resulted in job offers or interviews, with some offered roles in airport lounges or the tourism sector.
