The Jetstar story

Jetstar first took off in Australia as a domestic airline in 2004. Since then, the airline has completely changed the face of flying in the Asia Pacific region, flying more than 400 million passengers since launch. We help people to takeoff more, for less!

The Jetstar Group includes Jetstar Asia and Jetstar Japan, making us one of the largest low-cost airlines in the region.

As an integral part of the broader Qantas Group, Jetstar is an innovative and agile business – no two days are ever the same! 

The culture

Our values are the flying force behind everything we do. They're the secret to our success over the last 20 years and something we live by daily. Being 'passionately orange' is something you'll hear a lot!

We have a unique culture that stems from our core values of being safe and efficient, having a can-do attitude, working as one team, being passionate about enjoyment and genuinely caring for each other and our customers. 

Jetstar is action-oriented, collaborative and fast-paced. Our operational areas and corporate/support functions work closely together to ensure delivery of the best results for the customers and the business.

Social contribution

At Jetstar, we believe in making a positive contribution to the communities and environments we work and fly within.

Jetstar’s StarKids partnership with World Vision funds humanitarian relief and community-based projects in Australia and throughout Asia, transforming the lives of kids living in poverty and giving them the opportunity for a brighter future. 

Jetstar seeks to minimise its impact on the environment by using fuel-efficient aircraft, investing in the latest technology and offering the Fly Carbon Neutral program, which allows passengers to offset their share of the carbon emissions generated by their flight.   

Career prospects

Jetstar offers professional development training, career conversations, management and leadership development training, mentoring and on-the-job work assignments. As part of the Qantas group, Jetstar and Qantas employees work closely together with opportunities often arising to work across all Qantas branded airlines, for example: Qantas, QantasLink and Jetstar.
