Uploaded a photo of a Jetstar A320 because of the lack of this picture.themit 23:00, 6 January 2007 (UTC) I have uploaded a photo of a JetStar A320 I took at Hamilton Island on 2005-05-08 to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:JetStar_A320_HamiltonIsland.jpg

I would be very surprised if Jetstar is using Avalon to capacity - at most they have about a dozen departures a day. No-one else uses Avalon because they have no interest in doing so. Andypasto 02:10, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps 'utilise' would be a better word to use than 'consume' in that case. I don't think it's so much a matter of others (notably Virgin Blue) not being interested in using the airport, but rather a case of not being able to negotiate access. I think that is what the article is trying to say, but I'm not sure, so I'm reluctant to change it. I assume that there is no requirement that the airport be opened up to competition because there are other airports in Melbourne where airlines can compete. ... somebody else may be able to clarify.

When JetStar launched, there was a virtual airline in the States called "JetStar International Airlines". They had registered JetStar with the US trademark office, and so they took Qantas to court for trademark infringement. Eg, see here: http://flyawaysimulation.com/article851.html or here: http://www.bandt.com.au/news/e3/0c0201e3.asp Today, though, JIA seems to be defunct, and their website, http://www.jetstarairlines.com/, just goes to the Qantas JetStar. JIA has reincarnated as Trans International Airlines: http://www.transinternationalairlines.com/. But I don't know what came of the court case — whether they lost, and lost their domain, or whether they won (or Qantas settled) but decided to change their name anyway because it was too much hassle. - John Fouhy, 00:43, 9 January 2005 (UTC)

This page is pretty premature - it claims 'destinations served' when all that has occurred on the international front is an announcement by Qantas of the planned international routes that it will seek landing rights on.

[edit] 787 speculation

I've [deleted] speculation about the 787 fleet. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The speculation is contradicted by [this] press release. If the speculation was published somewhere by credible sources then perhaps t could be included if the sources were cited. -- Adz|talk 09:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tullamarine, Sydney, Brisbane

Jetstar does flights from Tullamarine to Sydney and Sydney to Brisbane, shouldn't it be removed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.233.176.13 (talk • contribs).

• • I'm sure you meant dont. The list is a list of Jetstar destinations in general. Also, regarding flights, Melbourne to Sydney flights I believe go through Avalon in Geelong/Outer Melbourne, and they don't fly SYD-BNE. --Arnzy ^{(whats up?)} 23:35, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asian Destinations

I don't think we should list the destinations served by Jetstar Asia and Valuair here, as long as the other two airlines have seperate articles. Links to the JQ Asia and Valuair articles should suffice. Is there any particular reason the destinations should remain here?--QFlyer 11:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that they should be removed. This remains a group of three airlines, and the destination list should reflect it.--Huaiwei 04:18, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Jetstar Asia Airways into Jetstar Airways

I propose merging Jetstar Asia Airways into this article as Jetstar and Jetstar Asia has merged their operations into one entity. Therefore, its redundant for a seperate article. All Jetstar Asia aircraft have removed the "jetstarasia.com" words on their fleet. Jetstarasia.com now redirects you to here and all operations are unified now. Feel free to comment on this merger. Terence Ong 14:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Please see earlier merge request in this page. The circumstance has not changed since then, and the concensus stays.--Huaiwei 16:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose. The brand may be integrated but operations are still independent as they have been to date. The article (and moreso orange star) needs a cleanup but irrespective of that, the two Jetstar's are operating as different entities. Jetstar is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas, Jetstar Asia's ownership (via Orange Star) is decidedly more diverse. skyskraper 16:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for adding those merge tags - I thought I could help out, but I didn't look here first :) Social Studiously 11:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
