About Jetstar Japan
Jetstar Japan is the Jetstar-branded low-cost airline flying in Japan, which Qantas holds as an equity investment rather than a subsidiary. On 4 August 2026 the group signed a binding agreement with Japan Airlines to divest its minority shareholding through a share buy-back that would move the airline to a Japanese capital-led ownership structure. The transaction awaits regulatory approval and is expected to complete by June 2027.
