A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Qantas Group, Jetstar is an Australian LCC headquartered in Melbourne. Established by Qantas in 2003 in response to market inroads being made by then-LCC Virgin Blue, Jetstar operates an extensive domestic network and is the world's largest long-haul LCC, operating to destinations in the Pacific Ocean and Asia.
The airline, which participates in the Qantas Frequent Flyer Programme, operates a fleet of Airbus A320-family, A330 and Boeing 787-8 aircraft. Parent Jetstar also operates domestic service in New Zealand, and the brand is also operating in a Singapore JV (as Jetstar Asia), a Vietnam JV (as Jetstar Pacific) and a Japanese JV (Jetstar Japan) in each of which parent company Qantas has equity stakes.
