=== Post-merger === Until 2014, the airline flew exclusively to Indonesian destinations - namely [[Jakarta]], [[Medan]], [[Surabaya]] and [[Denpasar]]. In an attempt to protect local airlines, in 2005 Indonesia introduced a new policy preventing foreign low-cost carriers from flying to major airports within the country.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Donnan |first1=Shawn |last2=Burton |first2=John |title=Indonesia to limit budget airlines |url=https://www.ft.com/content/6ced7ee8-9be0-11d9-815d-00000e2511c8 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221211/https://www.ft.com/content/6ced7ee8-9be0-11d9-815d-00000e2511c8 |archive-date=11 December 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=23 June 2018 |work=Financial Times |date=24 March 2005}}</ref> Jetstar Asia had not yet established routes into [[Indonesia]], so the merger was seen as the airline's strategy to get an early entrance into the lucrative Indonesian market. Valuair flights are operated by Jetstar Asia crew, with the in-flight menu and entertainment virtually the same as Jetstar Asia's. Some Jetstar flights are flown using Valuair aircraft. In February 2008, Jetstar Asia announced that it would begin flights to [[Medan]] later in the year. As existing protectionism policies are in place, the flights were operated under Valuair's code. Jetstar Asia is a majority Singapore-owned and -based company. The company is managed by Newstar Holdings Pty Ltd, majority owned by Singapore company Westbrook Investments Pte Ltd (51 per cent), with the Qantas Group holding the remaining 49 per cent of shares. In October 2014, after the Indonesian Government lifting operational restrictions on foreign-owned low-cost carriers into Indonesia, Valuair was dissolved and its flights were taken over by Jetstar Asia on 26 October 2014.<ref name="3Ktakeover">[http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/jetstar-asia-takes-over/1433102.html Jetstar Asia takes over Valuair flights to Indonesia] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141024150619/http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/jetstar-asia-takes-over/1433102.html |date=2014-10-24 }} retrieved 24 October 2014</ref>
