Initial operations commenced in December 2004 with flights to Hong Kong, Manila, Taipei, Pattaya and Bangkok. Airline was losing money in its first two years. It was denied to enter Indonesian market by the protectionist Indonesia government. In July 2005 Jetstar Asia merged with another Singapore low cost carrier ValuAir. Both airlines continue to operate under their brand name. This merger enabled Jetstar to enter Indonesian market, namely Medan Jakarta and Surabaya. Macau, Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh, Yangon, Ho Chi Minh and Siem Reap were added to the network since.
