Singapore Airlines and Scoot now lead a major shift in regional air travel. As Jetstar Asia ends operations on July 31, 2025, the aviation landscape changes fast. Surging fuel prices, airport charges, and market pressure forced Jetstar to shut down.

In response, Singapore Airlines and Scoot quickly filled the gaps left behind. Scoot will begin new flights to Okinawa, Labuan Bajo, and Medan between October 2025 and March 2026. These routes were once served by Jetstar. Therefore, this move keeps vital connections alive.

Meanwhile, Scoot will also expand existing routes. For example, it will increase flights to Bangkok from 35 to 42 weekly. Similarly, Singapore Airlines will boost service to Colombo, Jakarta, and Phuket during the same period.

As Jetstar cuts back service starting June, the network changes daily. However, Scoot and Singapore Airlines aim to maintain access across Asia. Scoot will use Boeing 787 Dreamliners on some Manila flights, replacing smaller aircraft. Thus, more seats and better comfort will benefit travelers.

Jetstar’s exit affects over 500 workers. Yet, Singapore Airlines Group has already planned new roles. Around 300 jobs will open across Scoot and SIA, including pilot and cabin crew posts. Additionally, affected employees will get payouts, bonuses, and extended travel benefits.

Even though one low-cost airline disappears, travelers still gain more choices. Singapore Airlines and Scoot increase flights, upgrade planes, and improve schedules. Hence, passengers enjoy smoother journeys and better access to destinations. Asia’s skies are shifting, but they remain busy. With Singapore Airlines and Scoot acting fast, the region keeps flying forward.
