Our Results
To Brands
•
Takeup of the Jetstar program has been strong from launch and continues
to increase
•
Currently more than 12% of customers booking through jetstar.com.au
•
Take-up of the Qantas carbon offsetting program remains less than 1%
•
In line with our initial expectations and standard industry take up rates
•
Enhancements to the Qantas program should lift take-up
