Queenslanders can now catch a direct flight from Brisbane to Bangkok. Carrying more than 100,000 customers a year, our new three-per-week service will also support the Sunshine State's inbound tourism market. With new routes including to Osaka, Tokyo and Seoul, Jetstar has become the second largest international carrier in Brisbane. https://lnkd.in/gqNPChsH

Our first ever flight from Sydney to Vanuatu arrived in Port Vila today, with customers and crew receiving a warm welcome. This was one of four route launches in a fortnight as Jetstar continues to grow its low fares network. Images courtesy of Vanuatu Tourism Office https://lnkd.in/exT7DJRG

Today we celebrated a major milestone in our new era of low fares travel. More than 6000 frontline team members across Australia, as well as airlines based in New Zealand, Singapore and Japan stepped out in a new uniform. It’s the first new look we’ve rolled out in 20 years of low fares flying. Ready to take off more together. https://lnkd.in/gWJg7QT3

How amazing does our Jetstar team look in their new uniforms?   It was such fun to visit our teams in Sydney and the Gold Coast this morning to see our people wearing their new uniforms for the first time.   A huge thank you to Genevieve Smart, our dedicated teams and everyone involved in bringing Jetstar’s new look to life. ✈️🧡

We’re delivering the single biggest expansion ever of our Perth operations: - launching a third new service between Perth and Asia this week - officially opening a new aircraft and pilot base in the West - and shifting our domestic flights to Terminal 2 from today. Following the successful launch of new Jetstar services between Perth and Singapore and Phuket last month, we’ll begin flying up to four times a week between Perth and Bangkok from this Friday, 6 September 2024.

This is a challenging day for our industry and we are sad to see Rex enter voluntary administration with the immediate suspension of its Boeing 737 operations. We know this will be a difficult period for many Rex customers and employees and we stand ready to assist. Rex customers impacted by cancelled flights due to the grounding of their domestic jet services can contact Qantas and Jetstar to be reaccommodated on the same route as their original booking at no charge, where we have seats available.

iPads once used by our pilots, cabin crew and engineers are being put to good use in Victorian classrooms.   Since 2022, we have donated 250 iPads with good battery life to three schools, with the latest delivery made to Glenallen School in Melbourne.   Our team got to meet some of the students and teachers giving our iPads a second life, helping with communication and learning.

To celebrate NAIDOC Week, our team members operated a return flight from the Gold Coast to Cairns which was fully crewed by First Nations pilots and cabin crew. Captain James Knagge, First Officer Brett Butler, Cabin Manager Lisa Goolagong and crew Karlene Eaton, Nicole Croke and Taylor Rotumah took part. It’s hoped this special flight will encourage other First Nations people to consider a career in aviation. In Captain Knagge’s words: “If we can all be here, so can you.” At Jetstar, we’re committed to attracting, developing, and retaining First Nations team members.
