Jetstar Airways Pty Limited (ABN 33 069 720 243) is the Melbourne-based low-cost carrier of the Qantas Group and, with Virgin Australia, one half of the Australian domestic duopoly. The Jetstar Group flies as Jetstar Airways (JQ) and Jetstar Japan (GK); Jetstar Asia (3K) flew its last service on 31 July 2025. Jetstar sits at the direct-distribution end of the Australian travel chain — it sells through jetstar.com, through the Jetstar Agent Hub, through seven GDSs, and through a partner channel it calls, literally, the Jetstar API. That API is not a public developer product and it is not IATA NDC — it is the Navitaire New Skies SOAP web service (NSK 4.6) hosted on the vendor's own domain at jqapi.navitaire.com, with documentation, registration and downloads behind a login at apiblog.jetstar.com. There is no public developer portal, no OpenAPI or WSDL published, no self-serve signup and no bulk export operation. Access requires GoStandard or GoGlobal IATA accreditation for BSP settlement plus separate Jetstar approval, Registered Agent status under Jetstar's Travel Agent Terms and Conditions, a client certificate and IP allow-listing. Jetstar's own trade communications name only three authorised booking facilities for Registered Agents — API, GDS and Jetstar Agent Hub — and state that Registered Agents may only access Jetstar Data and make bookings via the API for all online distribution.
