Indonesia AirAsia, an Indonesian low-cost airline, would suspend its daily route from Jakarta to Singapore, ranked the world’s second-richest country by GDP per capita in 2025 behind Switzerland, starting from July 1.
The suspension of the Jakarta route is the latest indication of Indonesia AirAsia’s shrinking network in Singapore and across the region, The Straits Times reported.
According to AirAsia’s website, its Indonesian subsidiary has suspended 36 domestic and international routes.
Jakarta-Singapore are no longer available for reservations with the airline in July, according to airline website AeroRoutes.

Data from OAG Aviation shows Indonesia AirAsia operated 104 flights between Singapore’s Changi Airport and Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in June 2025.
By June this year, that number had fallen to just 30.
Monthly seat capacity also dropped sharply, from an average of around 36,000 seats in 2025 to 5,400 in June 2026.
Several Asian airlines have reduced flights to major tourist destinations across Southeast Asia this summer as low travel demand and higher fuel prices stemming from the Middle East conflict weigh on operations.
South Korean low-cost carrier Jeju Air suspended its route from Incheon to Indonesia’s Batam from June 1, The Jakarta Post reported.
