Jetstar Asia's exit shrinks options for consumers, but unlikely to dent Changi's hub status
SINGAPORE: Jetstar Asia's impending exit after more than two decades in Singapore is a blow to budget-conscious travellers, even if the low-cost airline's modest three per cent share of Changi Airport's traffic might suggest otherwise. Although Changi remains well-served by other budget carriers on busy routes such as Bali and Jakarta, Jetstar Asia's departure will sever non-stop links to four emerging holiday spots. The Singapore offshoot of Australia's Jetstar – which began operations in December 2004 – is the only airline that serves Okinawa in Japan, Wuxi in China, Labuan Bajo in Indonesia and Broome in Australia from Changi. While Changi Airport Group (CAG) has said it would work with other airlines to restore connectivity, the prospect of losing non-stop connections to these cities comes at a time when Singapore is looking to aggressively expand the number of destinations linked to Changi. The airport is connected to about 170 cities worldwide, and the target is to surpass 200 cities by the mid-2030s, when Terminal 5 opens. Maintaining as many air links as possible is good for airlines and consumers, especially when low fares are in the mix. This also strengthens Changi's competitiveness as a transit hub. Jetstar Asia, which is 49 per cent owned by Australia's Qantas and 51 per cent by Singapore company Westbrook Investments, cited higher airport fees and aviation charges, as well as intensifying competition, as reasons it had become unsustainable to continue operations at Changi. Linus Benjamin Bauer, founder and managing director of aviation consultancy BAA & Partners, said rising costs are squeezing low-cost carriers. 'Many airlines still operate under pre-pandemic pricing models, but face a vastly more expensive cost base,' he said, adding that more exits or mergers, especially among smaller budget airlines, can be expected. The writing had been on the wall for some time for Jetstar Asia. It was the slowest of the three Singapore-based carriers – the others being Singapore Airlines (SIA) and its budget arm Scoot – to rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic. Its fleet of 13 Airbus A320 aircraft is down from 18 before the pandemic. Its move from Changi's Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 in March 2023 – which the airline protested publicly – also lengthened connecting times for passengers transferring to Qantas or its partner airlines. T4 is a distance from T1, where Qantas operates, for instance. When Singapore announced its latest round of airport fee hikes in November 2024 to fund improvements to Changi Airport and defray rising costs, Jetstar Asia had warned the increases would have an impact on its ability to offer low fares. It also noted that most of CAG's planned upgrades do not apply to T4, where it operates. Under the new fee structure, landing, parking and aerobridge charges for narrow-body jets such as the A320 will rise yearly, climbing from about $1,200 (US$935) per landing before April 2025 to $1,725 in April 2030. Passenger fees will also go up in stages until the end of the decade. Passenger fees at Changi are already steeper than those in regional hubs such as Bangkok. While such costs are seen as necessary to help airports fund infrastructural improvements to meet future demand, the increases have made it increasingly difficult for low-cost carriers such as Jetstar Asia to keep air fares low – their key selling point – without passing the extra costs on to customers. 'Singapore has become a high-cost environment for a low-cost carrier, and Qantas Group and Jetstar feel they can get better returns on their assets in other markets,' said Mayur Patel, Asia head at consultancy OAG Aviation. It does not help that in some cases, full-service carriers such as SIA can also offer low fares if tickets are booked early. This is because they have the flexibility of deploying wide-body or narrow-body aircraft, depending on demand. After its closure, Jetstar Asia's 13 planes will be redeployed progressively across the Qantas Group to support fleet renewal and growth in Australia and New Zealand in line with demand. The low-cost airline's closure comes as global demand for air travel remains strong. Airlines are expected to fly a record 4.99 billion passengers in 2025 – a four per cent increase from 2024 – according to the latest forecast from the International Air Transport Association. The Asia-Pacific region is driving this growth. So why has Jetstar Asia struggled to take advantage of this? This has partly to do with the intensity of competition on seven of the 16 routes that it serves, which are operated by at least three other airlines, data compiled by Mr Patel showed. Singapore-Bali is served by nine airlines including Jetstar Asia, Singapore-Jakarta by eight, and Singapore-Kuala Lumpur by seven. Even fellow low-cost carrier AirAsia has scaled back on some routes of late, likely due in part to higher operating costs. It dropped its Singapore-Ipoh and Singapore-Phuket services, and cut back flights to Bangkok's Don Mueang Airport earlier in 2025. Jetstar Asia's exit leaves SIA and Scoot as the only Singapore-based carriers. While consumers will have one less option, choices still abound, with one-fifth of the 100 airlines at Changi being low-cost carriers. Overall, they serve more than half of the 170 cities that the airport is connected to. Patel said any connectivity gaps left by Jetstar Asia's exit can be filled only in the short to medium term by other carriers. This is due to delays in the delivery of new aircraft and the time needed for capacity changes. Ultimately, Jetstar Asia's withdrawal from Singapore will shrink the choices available to consumers, particularly those eyeing the non-stop links it served exclusively. But its limited market share means that the impact on Changi's standing as a hub will likely be minimal. - The Straits Times/ANN

Risk-off mood grips global markets despite ‘great deal' with China
SINGAPORE, June 12 — Global stocks and the dollar slipped today as investors sized up a benign US inflation report and the fragile trade truce between Washington and Beijing, while rising tensions in the Middle East and lingering tariff anxiety dented risk sentiment. Attention in financial markets this week has been on the US-China trade talks which culminated in a framework agreement that would remove Chinese export restrictions on rare earth minerals and allow Chinese students access to US universities. 'We made a great deal with China. We're very happy with it,' said US President Donald Trump. Markets though were guarded in their response, awaiting fuller, concrete details of the agreement and remained wary of another flare up. Trump also said the US would send out letters in one to two weeks outlining the terms of trade deals to dozens of other countries, which they could embrace or reject, adding yet another dose of uncertainty in the markets. 'The US China deal really just leaves the tariffs in place after they've been cut back following the Geneva meeting, so it doesn't really change things,' said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy and chief economist at AMP Capital. 'Ultimately the trade tension is yet to be resolved between the US and China.' MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was 0.3 per cent lower in early trading after hitting a three year-high yesterday. Japan's Nikkei slipped 0.7 per cent, while US and European stock futures fell. China's blue-chip stock index fell 0.37 per cent, moving off the near three-week top it touched in the previous session. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was down 0.74 per cent, also inching away from yesterday's three-month high. Trump's erratic tariff policies have roiled global markets this year, prompting hordes of investors to exit US assets, especially the dollar, as they worried about rising prices and slowing economic growth. The euro, one of the beneficiaries of the dollar's decline, rose to a seven-week high and was last at US$1.1512. The Japanese yen was 0.4 per cent firmer at 144.03 per dollar. That pushed the dollar index, which measures the US currency against six other key rivals, to its lowest level since April 22. The index is down 9 per cent this year. Data yesterday showed US consumer prices increased less than expected in May as cheaper gasoline partially offset higher rents, but inflation is expected to accelerate in the coming months on the back of the Trump administration's import tariffs. The soft inflation report led Trump to renew his call for the Federal Reserve to push through a major rate cut. The president has been pressing for rate cuts for some time even as Fed officials have shrugged off his comments. Traders are pricing in a 70 per cent chance of a quarter-point reduction in the Fed policy rate by September. Policymakers are widely expected to keep rates unchanged next week. AMP's Oliver said the higher prices will flow through either in the form of higher inflation or lower profit margins. 'I suspect it's probably going to be a combination of the two. Therefore, it makes sense for the Fed to wait and see what happens rather than rushing into a rate cut.' In commodities, oil prices were pinned at two-month highs, close to US$70 a barrel, on worries of supply disruptions in the Middle East after Iran said it will strike US bases in the region if nuclear talks fail and conflict arises with Washington. Gold prices also got a boost from safe-haven flows, with spot gold up 0.5 per cent at US$3,370.29. — Reuters

Big banks collaborate on Johor data centre deal
PETALING JAYA: United Overseas Bank (M) Bhd (UOB) has announced its role as joint coordinator, mandated lead arranger, underwriter, and bookrunner in one of South-East Asia's largest data centre financing deals. The landmark deal, which involves a dual currency loan of RM15bil, is also the largest syndicated green Islamic facility in Malaysia. DayOne Data Centres Singapore Pte Ltd announced yesterday it had closed a landmark RM15bil equivalent multi-currency financing arrangement comprising a RM7.5bil Murabahah Term Financing facility and a US$1.7bil offshore term loan facility. OCBC Bank (M) Bhd and its parent, Singapore-based Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp Ltd, is joint coordinator, mandated lead arranger, bookrunner, and green financing coordinator (MLAB), with OCBC Bank also serving as joint syariah adviser. The deal supports DayOne's data centre development in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). UOB arranged the financing in syndication, together with other banks. The financing involved CIMB Investment Bank Bhd, the Singapore arm of CIMB Bank Bhd, Credit Agricole CIB, DBS Bank Ltd, Maybank Investment Bank Bhd, Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore), United Overseas Bank Ltd, and UOB (M) Bhd as MLABs. UOB Malaysia chief executive officer Ng Wei Wei said the landmark transaction reflects the bank's commitment to supporting infrastructure projects that advance sustainable digital transformation across Asean. 'By jointly financing DayOne's data centre in the JS-SEZ, we are not only supporting Malaysia's digital economy but also strengthening the connectivity backbone that enables businesses from both sides of the Causeway to thrive in the digital age. 'We remain committed to the continuous support and development of the JS-SEZ as a strategic economic corridor that enhances regional connectivity and drives sustainable growth,' she said. Headquartered in Singapore, DayOne is a global leader in digital infrastructure, with a growing footprint across tier-one and emerging markets, including Singapore, Johor, Batam in Indonesia, Greater Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and beyond. The financing facility enables DayOne to refinance existing loans while funding new data centre developments, creating a stable foundation for long-term growth and optimal capital allocation across their expanding regional portfolio. Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) meanwhile said it is underwriting RM2.5bil to support DayOne Data Centres. The amount is one-third of the largest syndicated Islamic financing for data centres in the Asia Pacific. Maybank president and group chief executive officer Datuk Khairussaleh Ramli said the transaction represents Maybank's largest Islamic financing commitment to the data centre sector. Meanwhile, OCBC Bank said the dual-tranche financing – structured under the Green Loan Principles – will partially fund the refinancing and capital expenditure of DayOne's data centres in Johor. The data centres in Johor already meet or are expected to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold or higher certification by the US Green Building Council, setting a new benchmark for sustainable digital infrastructure. OCBC Bank chief executive officer Tan Chor Sen said that, as one of the largest integrated financial services groups in the region, OCBC's regional strength enables it to support both the onshore and offshore tranches of this landmark syndication. 'As a key MLAB, we supported DayOne with one of the highest underwriting commitments, reflecting our commitment to fostering a sustainable future that aligns with our leadership in responsible finance,' Tan said
