Jetstar Japan Signs Global Distribution Agreement with Amadeus

Jetstar Japan (GK), a new low cost airline that began domestic operations earlier this year, has signed a global distribution agreement with Amadeus that will provide travel agents with worldwide access to the new airline's range of fares, domestic schedules and inventories.

“This agreement will make our low fares easily accessible to travel agents in Japan and will provide more choices for Japanese travellers,” said Miyuki Suzuki, Jetstar Japan CEO. “Accessibility is key to the low fares revolution in Japan and Jetstar is taking a leadership role by working with partners to make our low fares available to more people so they can fly more often.”

Travel agencies worldwide will access Jetstar Japan content through the Amadeus Selling Platform. Consultants will have access to the same content as provided by the airline to all other third party travel booking systems in the market.

The addition of Jetstar Japan will be the latest airline in the Jetstar Group already available to Amadeus users. These include Jetstar Australia and New Zealand, Jetstar Asia, Jetstar Pacific and Valuair. This new agreement will add to the 70 low cost carriers (LCC) already available in the Amadeus system.

Miho Ohtake, General Manager, Amadeus Japan, said, “We are excited to be the first global distribution system to offer the rich content of Jetstar Japan. The Jetstar group of airlines is an increasingly important low cost option for travellers across Asia Pacific and this agreement will ensure travel agencies have access to essential low cost travel options right at their fingertips.”
