Jetstar
Network Developments continued
• From October 2006, Jetstar will provide allocated seating on
all its Australian domestic services, aligning these services with
the airline’s existing trans-Tasman services and proposed long
haul international fl ights. Customers will be able to pre-select
their seat at the time of booking – a fi rst for an Australian
domestic airline.
• Jetstar has extended its freesale trans-Tasman codeshare
arrangement with Qantas to all Australian domestic services
and future long haul international services. The airline will also
expand its codeshare capability to support Jetstar-marketed
fl ights on select partner airlines.
Business Milestones
• The Centre for Asia Pacifi c Aviation named Jetstar its Low Cost
Airline of the Year for the Asia Pacifi c in December 2005.
• There are more than 1.25 million visits to Jetstar.com each month,
representing a 300 per cent growth in website usage since the
airline’s launch in May 2004. In excess of 80 per cent of Jetstar
tickets are now booked online.
• Jetstar Holidays was launched in June 2006, initially offering
online holiday packages to popular Queensland destinations.
It plans to expand to other Australian destinations, Christchurch
in New Zealand and destinations in Asia and the Pacifi c.
• As a result of Jetstar’s low-fare services, more than one million
passengers have passed through Avalon Airport west of
Melbourne, making it Australia’s fastest growing domestic
airport. The airline currently operates around 130 weekly fl ights
from Avalon to Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and Sydney.
Jetstar Long Haul International
Inaugural services for Jetstar’s long haul network, comprising six
destinations in Asia and the Pacifi c, will begin in November 2006.
Initially concentrating on point-to-point outbound leisure fl ying
that complements existing Qantas international operations, Jetstar’s
future expansion will see an emphasis on inbound leisure fl ying.
Jetstar’s two-class international services will initially be operated
by four A330-200s, growing to six wide body aircraft by mid-2007
and then transitioning to 12 new B787-8 aircraft from late 2008.
Jetstar’s overseas services, which may include two-stage fl ights to
European and other destinations, are then expected to represent
around 22 per cent of the Qantas Group’s international fl ying.
Network
Network highlights for the new services include:
• new destinations for the Qantas Group in Ho Chi Minh City
and Phuket;
• new Japan routes for the Group, with daily fl ights between
Sydney and Osaka and Osaka and Brisbane;
• more services to Honolulu, with Jetstar offering three fl ights a
week from Sydney and two fl ights a week from Melbourne in
addition to Qantas’ thrice-weekly Sydney Honolulu services; and
• Jetstar-operated services to Bali from Melbourne and Sydney,
replacing Qantas services on these routes.
