Press Release Summary: Australia\'s leading cheap flights provider awarded Carrier of
the Year two years running.

Press Release Body: Australia's leading low cost airline has been awarded the title
of Low Cost Carrier of the Year 2007 in the Asia Pacific region. The award was
presented by the Centre of Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) for the second year in the
row following the airline receiving the prestigious award in 2006.

The airline was also the winner of the world\'s Best Low-Cost Airline Award for 2007
by Skytrax. The airline began flying within Australia in May 2004 and within only 6
months had expanded to Asia as well. Jetstar's fresh approach to low cost travel in
the region with its brand-new fleet, great destinations and friendly crew sets a new
standard for cheap air travel, allowing customers worldwide to travel more often.

With its base in Melbourne, Jetstar is the Australian leader in cheap flights and
their hold over the cheap flight market is immense. Jetstar currently flies to over
50 domestic and international destinations with this list expanding every year.
Current destinations include most capital cities in Australia, namely Melbourne,
Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart and Darwin as well as many regional
locations including popular holiday spots Cairns, Townsville, the Gold Cost,
Hamilton Island and Newcastle. The airline's extensive list of international
destinations includes the United States, New Zealand, Japan, Thailand, Singapore,
Malaysia and Vietnam to name a few. With Jetstar's everyday low rates, travellers
are now realising that you don't have to spend a fortune to fly to Australia with so
many cheap flights widely available today.

Jetstar is the leader amongst cheap flight providers. The company is continuously
improving on the services it provides so that customers can find no room for
complaint- while it has associations with all leading airline companies to ensure
quality services, it also has an isolated management body to ensure flight prices do
not soar. Apart from the cost benefits, Jetstar flights let customers fly in
comfort. The company has a world class fleet- the aircrafts are well-maintained to
ensure that customers are satisfied with every flight. The fleet consists of Airbus
320's and Boeing 717's.

The specialty of the carriers owned by the company is that they are extremely
comfortable and also stylish at the same time. Each aircraft is single-aisled and
carries about 180 passengers. Jetstar customers needn't have to worry about space.
Jetstar prides itself on being able to provide a relaxed, comfortable journey at all
times.

Jetstar has recently introduced its new premium cabin StarClass, available on all
international Jetstar services operated by the Airbus A330. Designed for those
customers who wish to travel in comfort and not spend a fortune, StarClass is the
perfect option with spacious leather seating, quality in-flight service, priority
check-in and your own personal video-on demand unit. For those looking for cheap air
travel in Asia or Australia combined with great in-flight services, Jetstar is a
great option to be considered.

For travellers across the globe, Jetstar is their first stop for cheap flights. The
airline has recently launched its new product Jetstar Light with a new option
providing even lower fares then previously offered. With huge savings to be made, a
customer holding a JetSaver Light fare may travel only with carry-on baggage with up
to 10 kilograms in a standard size bag. Travellers looking to take a short leisure
break or business trip will benefit from the airlines wide range of low cost flight
options.
