Australia's Qantas Airways to close its Singapore-based budget airline Jetstar Asia, the group said on Wednesday, blaming rising supplier costs, high airport fees and strong regional competition.

The shutdown of the 20-year-old airline next month will result in up to XXX job losses, a Qantas spokesperson said, and Jetstar Asia's fleet of XX Airbus A320 planes will be redeployed to Australia and New Zealand.

The shutdown of Jetstar Asia will not impact the operations of Australia-based Jetstar Airways, nor those of Jetstar Japan, according to its part-owner Qantas.

The budget carrier will offer a progressively reduced service over the next seven weeks and travellers will be notified if their flight is affected. Passengers with tickets to fly after the XX July closure will be contacted by the airline.
