Jetstar Asia
Qantas is a major shareholder in Orangestar Pte Limited, which
owns and operates value-based carriers Jetstar Asia and Valuair.
Qantas owns 45.04 per cent of Orangestar, which was formed
in July 2005 after Jetstar Asia acquired Valuair.
The two airlines continue to operate in their own right and
participate in growth opportunities. They fl y to 12 destinations
in nine countries in Asia – Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia,
Myanmar, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Jetstar
Asia operates a fl eet of four A320 aircraft, while Valuair operates
two A320s.
Jetstar Asia will work closely with Jetstar in Australia on
opportunities in the intra-Asia market. This closer cooperation
follows a series of executive appointments during the year.
Orangestar Director and Qantas Chief Financial Officer Peter
Gregg replaced Qantas Chief Executive Officer Geoff Dixon as
Chairman. The resulting vacancy on the Orangestar Board was
fi lled by Alan Joyce, Chief Executive Officer of Jetstar in Australia.
