Jetstar Airways Flight Status
About Jetstar Airways
Jetstar Airways, based in Australia, operates under the ICAO code JST and the IATA code JQ; its radio callsign is "Jetstar". On this page you can follow Jetstar Airways flights and find the airports it serves.
How to read a Jetstar Airways flight number
Every Jetstar Airways flight number starts with JQ, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix JST, and controllers address it as "Jetstar". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Jetstar Airways and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Jetstar Airways
Where is my Jetstar Airways flight right now?
Search the flight number (JQ plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my Jetstar Airways flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do JQ and JST mean on Jetstar Airways flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. JQ is the IATA code you see on tickets; JST is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does Jetstar Airways operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Jetstar Airways, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
