Jetstar Fleet and Operations (Post-Covid)

[Greg Hyde]

Hi James,

As a quick check, I downloaded the full VH reg & sorted by OPNAME, 93 frames.

Removed the ones that hadn't arrived, A5D, A5E, OIR & OYX, 4 frames

Giving a total of 89, your'e on the money.

Thanks for doing a check, Greg. Over the years with Jetstar A320s and A321s being delivered and JA and 9V A320s arriving and departing within the group, plus A320s transferring to Network, it is easy to miss a movement or two which could remain uncorrected on someone's aircraft count.

No probs, if you use OpName rather than any other field, it normally works

Yeah I feel searching by registered operator is the way to go, since some of the aircraft have Qantas (QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED) as registered owner and others have foreign lessors.

The Qantas Group has today announced a strategic restructure which supports its historic fleet renewal program and strengthens its core businesses in Australia and New Zealand.
The closure of intra-Asia airline, Jetstar Asia, enables the Qantas Group to recycle up to $500 million in capital, supporting its historic fleet renewal program
13 Jetstar Asia Airbus A320 aircraft to be progressively redeployed to Australia and New Zealand bringing more low fares and more local jobs
Only 16 intra-Asia routes will be impacted by the closure of Jetstar Asia with no changes to Jetstar Airways and Jetstar Japan services into Asia. All of Jetstar Airways international services in and out of Australia remain unchanged.

Might explain why the last of the former 3K fleet didnt go back to 3K from JQ (XSJ, XNJ)

including replacing leased aircraft in Jetstar Airways’ domestic operation to reduce its cost base.

Looking at the VH-reg, there are around 13 leased aircraft in JQs fleet, and 6 also leased in 3K's fleet, shall be interesting to see how many of those are returned.
