Jetstar Asia grounding entire fleet

SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE -- Jetstar Asia, the Singapore based arm of the Jetstar Airways AU, has moved to ground its entire fleet of 18 A320's.

The LCC located in Singapore, has been hardly hit as it only operates international flights along with SQ. 

The airlines has spoken to The Strait Times and has said;

"All flights will be suspended from March 23 to at least April 15, a spokesman told ST.
She said: "The decision reflects responses beyond our control, including a rapid decline in forward travel demand due to government containment measures, corporate travel bans and a general pullback from everyday activities across the community."
Jetstar Asia is containing the impact as much as possible by asking staff to take paid and unpaid leave during this time, in addition to cancelling annual bonuses and the 13th-month annual wage supplement payment, she added.
The airline has about 800 employees, including 500 pilots and cabin crew. Customers impacted by the suspension will be offered a full refund in the form of a travel credit voucher, said Jetstar Asia."
