Podcasts about Jetstar

In this episode of Leadership Odysseys, we're joined by Claudine Ogilvie, an executive and entrepreneur who's spent over two decades at the intersection of technology, transformation, and leadership. From her time as CIO at Jetstar and Ridley Corporation to board roles with Cuscal and Scyne Advisory, Claudine has built a career shaped by curiosity, courage, and bold transitions. Today, she's the founder and CEO of HivePix, a data orchestration platform improving transparency and trust across the supply chain. We dive into the mindset behind leaving corporate leadership to build something new, how to navigate complexity without losing clarity, and why empathy, ethics, and innovation must go hand in hand in the age of AI. This is a conversation about technology, yes—but also about purpose, progress, and leading with integrity in a rapidly evolving world. Key Highlights: ~ The Leap into Entrepreneurship: Claudine shares what it took to step away from big business and start HivePix—and the gap in supply chain data she's now solving. ~ Courageous Career Shifts: We explore how to know when it's time to pivot, what holds leaders back, and why reinvention requires more belief than certainty. ~ Complexity and Clarity: Claudine offers lessons from leading large-scale transformation at Jetstar, including how to align teams, stay grounded, and make decisions when the path isn't obvious. ~ The Future of Responsible Tech: A thoughtful look at AI, quantum computing, and the urgent need to build technology with trust, ethics, and inclusion at the core. ~ Act First, Think Differently: Inspired by a quote from Herminia Ibarra, Claudine reflects on how doing—more than thinking—reshapes how we lead and who we become. Claudine Ogilvie's journey is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't about staying in your lane, it's about learning, leaping, and building what you believe the world needs. Whether you're navigating a career pivot or shaping the future of tech, this episode offers grounded insight and inspiration for embracing change with clarity and conviction.

Singapore shares fell today even as traders mull cooling trade tensions between the US and China. The Straits Times Index was down 0.53% at 3,913.01 points at 2.45pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$726.63M seen in the broader market. In terms of companies to watch, we have Koh Brothers Eco Engineering, after a joint venture between Japanese firm Penta-Ocean Construction and a subsidiary of Koh Brothers Eco Engineering bagged a S$999 million contract for the construction of intra-terminal tunnels at Changi Airport’s upcoming Terminal 5. Elsewhere, from the US and China setting up a framework towards a trade pact after two days of high profile talks in London, to Qantas shutting down the operations of its Singapore-based unit Jetstar Asia, more international and corporate headlines remain in focus. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Abhilash Narayan, Investment Strategist, HSBC Global Private Banking and Premier Wealth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jetstar Asia will cease operations from July 31 as part of its “strategic restructure” Now this development raises broader questions about the long-term sustainability of cross-border low-cost airline models and the challenges legacy airline groups face when expanding into foreign markets. Does Jetstar Asia’s exit mark a broader retreat from international diversification strategies? Is this a one-off restructuring decision—or a sign of deeper structural limitations in the intra-Asia aviation model? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Shukor Yusof, Founder, Endau Analytics, to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just 60% of Air New Zealand's trans-Tasman flights took off within 15 minutes of their scheduled time last month. A report by the Ministry of Transport shows airline performance for April. 78% of Jetstar's flights between Australia and New Zealand left on time, and 70% for Qantas. Aviation commentator Peter Clark told Ryan Bridge Air New Zealand's has a large fleet, which means more planes needing attention. He says aircrafts have to be turned around, serviced, and catered every flight. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More people could be set to fly Jetstar due to ongoing angst around aviation prices. This comes following a Commerce Commission complaint from a man who was stunned by the cost of an Air New Zealand direct flight to Wellington. The airline defended its prices, saying their fares reflected the 'true cost of flying'. Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully told Mike Hosking travel remains important to people, and they play an important role. She says most people are feeling a cost of living pressure, and that's where Jetstar becomes a good choice. It's also seen an uptick in reliability. Tully says that based on their operational performance report, they were more reliable than Air New Zealand in March. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We know airfares are expensive, right? Everybody, and I mean everybody, I know who's booked flights recently has made the comment that an overseas flight is cheaper than flying just about anywhere around New Zealand – especially to the provincial centres. Easter was huge in terms of airfares, but even on your normal everyday Wednesday morning, flying to Timaru, flying to Tauranga, it's going to set you back a fortune. We've been complaining about Air New Zealand's pricing now ever since we could get back in the air again after Covid, but what can we do? Air New Zealand says its experienced more cost inflation in the past three years than was typically seen in a decade, with Covid, a weak New Zealand dollar, and geopolitics all to blame. Richard Thompson, Air New Zealand's Chief Financial Officer says their costs over the past 3.5 years have gone up by roughly 30%. Domestic airfares on average have gone up by around 24%, so they're trying to absorb the costs, they say. He argues that flying is still a relatively affordable way to get around the country, with every $400 or $500 fare, he says, there are thousands of examples of $129 fares or even $99 fares. He said I was speaking with someone before Christmas who wanted to get from Timaru to Napier. They were paying $600 or $700 one way. But what's the alternative? You drive to Picton. It'll cost you $100 in gas. If you take the ferry across, that's another $250 or $300. Then another $50 or $60 in gas to get to Napier. He said driving isn't cheap either. But now the government's getting in on the act. Associate Transport Minister James Meager is not ruling out underwriting the expansion of small regional airlines to help maintain routes and keep the price of flying competitive. But truly, the thing is we simply do not have the population base to support viable competition. How many airlines have tried and failed to establish themselves in the market? Just thinking back, in the last couple of decades, Freedom Air, Kiwi Air, and Ansett - they came, they tried, they failed. Don't get me wrong, competition is a good thing. We do have Jetstar, bless them and where they fly, you'll generally find the routes are the most competitive in terms of airfares, and the most reliable – because let's not forget about reliability. And I don't think that's a coincidence. I'm supposed to be flying to Tauranga in a couple of weeks for the day, for a job. And I'm supposed to be flying down on Saturday morning and flying back on Saturday evening. I have absolutely no confidence that that will happen. None. I mean, I hope it does, because there's a film crew down there and it will be a costly exercise if I fail to make it. I'm not planning anything for that particular Saturday night because the last time I flew to Tauranga, I got down there fine and then sat for just under 7 hours in the regional lounge waiting for a plane that never came, or it didn't come for a very, very long time. And yes, you can drive, but it's a horrible drive. But what do you do? It's a horrible drive or you accept that there's a very real chance that the plane won't take off when it says it's going to. Why, though, is the government interfering in the market? I found it really interesting that successive governments, Labour and National have wanted to tinker with privately owned businesses like supermarkets, and petrol companies, and banks, and now the airlines. They want to sort of tweak and fiddle around to try and bring prices down and make things more competitive, and it's all about the consumer and you know. Fabulous. Why don't they bring down the price of power? That's something they do control. The governments are in charge of that. Not everybody flies, we all use electricity. It is what it is. It's expensive to run an airline. Really expensive now in the wake of Covid and it's all been outlined as to why it's so expensive. Flying is expensive. We know that. We baulk at paying the prices if we can. They will allow some subsidies if you're going for a funeral, if there's humanitarian reasons for getting somewhere quickly. Air New Zealand can allow for cheaper airfares, but ultimately, do we want the government, that is the taxpayer, subsidising competition in the aviation industry? I wouldn't have thought that was a good use of taxpayer money. Why on Earth should other taxpayers who don't fly, subsidise those who want to flit off to Hawkes Bay or Queenstown for a jolly. I just don't see why the government should be interfering with the business of flying planes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here we go again with the whinge fest about Air New Zealand's prices. I get it. I try book the same flights as everybody else and when you're trying to fly some obscure route from this province to province its gets expensive. Quickly. But here we are again with politicians telling us fibs - telling us they can wave a magic wand and fix all of our problems. This time is James Meager - going in to bat for the South Island. He says flying shouldn't just be for the rich, the government is going to take action and is talking about underwriting airlines. Do we want the government underwriting the purchase of turbo prop planes? Really? We've heard this all before of course. They've gone after the banks, the supermarkets, and the price of petrol. I can't tell you how many painstaking and frustrating interviews I've done with ministers of all colours and stripes who swear black and blue they'll sort it out and then don't. What's worse? The person that punches you in the nose? Or the doctor that says they'll fix it when they know you can't? Here's the thing, if you wanna book the main trunk line, it's relatively inexpensive, providing you're not booking last minute. There's Jetstar keeping Air New Zealand honest. That's competition. But if you're flying Kerikeri to Dunedin tomorrow, guess what? It will cost plenty. Why? Because they've got you over a barrel. You need to fly. It's short notice. 8000 people live in Kerikeri and 130,000 in Dunedin, these routes are often empty. The fact is running a profitable airline in a sparsely populated country is bloody difficult. And we want them to be profitable, otherwise we have no airline and we're a backwater banana republic. And the regional players - they're no better off. Air Chathams the other week was threatening to pull out of Whakatane unless the council paid for a new Cessna. Everyone compares us to the Australians - but have a look at outback Queensland. You pay thousands just to get to Brisbane. Show me a headline about flights being cheaper from Dunedin to Bali than Dunedin to Auckland and I'll show you one about Mount Isa to Brisbane and Brisbane to Canada. Population matters and guess what? We're a blip on the radar. And as for the promise that some politician will swoop in and save the day - it's about as reliable as planes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether it be families being able to afford to bring students home from University for the holidays, attending important events or visiting friends. Many kiwis living in the regions say they're cut off - with the cost of flying on our national carrier - simply unaffordable. Scott Koster did the maths and reckons it would be cheaper for his university student daughter to take a bus from Tauranga to Auckland, an Uber to the airport and then fly Jetstar to Wellington. Koster spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Australian airlines anticipate an exceptionally busy Easter travel period, with Qantas and Jetstar alone expecting to handle nearly two million passengers across their networks between Easter and Anzac Day. This surge in travel represents a significant increase, leading both airlines to implement measures such as rostering extra staff and having standby aircraft available. Travellers are being advised to arrive at airports significantly earlier than usual and to utilise online check-in and adhere to baggage restrictions to mitigate potential delays. Air New Zealand also projects a substantial rise in Australian passengers, particularly on trans-Tasman routes, urging travellers to plan ahead for a smoother experience. Overall, the reports highlight a widespread expectation of record-breaking travel volumes during the upcoming Easter holidays.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite relief from Australians after being spared the worst from ex-cyclone Alfred - the storm is still causing havoc. New reports show hundreds of trees are down and over 350,000 homes and businesses have lost power in Queensland and New South Wales.

As water bombers try to contain the dramatic wildfires besieging Los Angeles, there are fresh warnings that longer fire seasons overseas may prevent other countries from sending their firefighting aircraft to help Australia in future. Though the bushfire seasons since 2019–20's Black Summer have been comparatively mild, it's likely only a matter of time before the conditions are right for a repeat – but will Australia's sovereign firefighting fleet be ready? Adam and Jake discuss the progress that has been made since the royal commission and whether successive governments have done enough to prepare for the next catastrophic bushfires. Plus, as Jetstar continues to expand its Sunshine Coast operations and Launceston looks for new entrants to take over Bonza's former routes, will other airlines try – or be able – to fill the void the low-cost carrier left behind?

Jetstar is expanding it's services to the New Zealand market, and Christchurch looks set to get the bulk of the traffic. An extra aircraft will land in Christchurch on Sundays and four more trans-Tasman routes are set to launch in the next six months. Krystal Gibbens has the details.

Otautahi Christchurch is getting a brand new aircraft as Jet Star makes its biggest expansion into New Zealand in over a decade The airline is adding daily flights from Christchurch to the Gold Coast and Melbourne from mid December until the end of January - it's also adding to the Auckland flight schedule The new plane, an A320, touches down in the garden city this Sunday morning. The airport's General Manager of Aero Development Gordan Bevan.

I started counting headlines about Air New Zealand two weeks ago after my flight from Nelson to Auckland was delayed by about an hour. Then last Saturday my partners flight from Napier to Auckland was delayed after a bird strike. Neither delay was hugely consequential – just a little irritating. But since then, there have been a number of press articles about issues with planes. On the 30th of November, an Air NZ plane sat on the tarmac in Hong Kong for hours before being canned after a fuel fault and then crew sickness. An Air NZ flight from Wellington to Sydney was diverted to Auckland on the 1st of December after engine problems. And a flight from Gisborne to Auckland on the 2nd of December returned to Gisborne after engine problems. The plane landed safely after shutting down an engine shortly after departure. Investigations are underway for both engine issues. Anecdotally you don't have to search too hard to find someone who'll share a story of a flight delayed or cancelled, often at the last minute. It got me wondering if we're experiencing more incidents, delays and cancellations than before; or are we just complaining more? Do we feel we can complain more because quite often we're paying good money to fly around our little country? Recent figures released by the Ministry of Transport, which compare Jetstar and Air NZ's services on the main trunk jet routes they compete on, show that in September Air New Zealand recorded 80.4% for on-time departures (within 15 minutes of schedule), and Jetstar 78.0%. For on-time arrivals, Air New Zealand recorded 82.1% and Jetstar 80.6%. In January, Air New Zealand was sitting at 88% and it dropped to 77% in March this year. So reliability has fluctuated throughout the year. Another interesting figure - Air New Zealand's cancellation rate was 1.4%, more than twice Jetstar's which was 0.6%. So yeah, the stats could be better. We all accept airlines can't control the weather, but Air New Zealand has had other issues to grapple with. Planes out of action due to high global demand for engine maintenance meant 10 jets were out of service in the first half of this financial year. It is not expected this will be sorted until 2026. On top of this, the travel market has been a mixed bag, leading the airline to announce this week they will be running fewer flights on some domestic routes in 2025. Who knows what this will do to prices? A 1.4% cancellation rate is tiny in the overall scheme of things – but when combined with other disruptions and high prices, Air New Zealand has its challenges cut out for them. For so long they have been a beloved New Zealand brand, but since Covid it's been like pushing a Dreamliner uphill. Have you run out of patience yet? The Air New Zealand service and staff may be fabulous, but as long as long as the fleet and financials remain under pressure it looks like it will be difficulty to quiet the headlines.

But if it gets into the air, can it really succeed in taking on the big players Qantas and Virgin when so many others have failed, most recently Rex.  Today, Emily Baker on her Four Corners investigation into why Rex couldn't compete. Emily Baker explains that Koala Airlines aims to provide a different product or service, similar to how Aldi and IGA operate alongside Coles and Woolworths. She highlights that the Australian domestic market is dominated by a duopoly of Qantas and Virgin, making it challenging for new entrants. Emily discusses how Rex's attempt to enter the jet market and compete on the Golden Triangle routes ultimately led to its downfall. She also notes that Qantas and Virgin's aggressive competitive strategies played a significant role in Rex's failure. Emily says there's evidence that a third airline would push down airfares, and one way to achieve that would be to force Qantas to sell off Jetstar. Featured: Emily Baker, Four Corners reporterKey Topics:Koala AirlinesAustralian aviation marketQantas and Virgin duopolyRex Airlines failureGolden Triangle routesAirline competitionAirfare pricesBill AstlingLim Kim HaiJohn Sharp

When Guild decided to enter the solidbody guitar game, in 1963, they did it by introducing a series of instruments with funny headstocks and curves cut into the bottoms; some even had built-in kickstands. The least of these was the S-50 Jet-Star, a single-pickup affair targeted at the student market. It boasted a single pickup, a volume and a tone. That's it. To our modern eyes, it is a triumph.

Jetstar is headed to court over claims it misled customers about their rights to compensation for delayed or cancelled flights. The Commerce Commission is filing charges against the budget airline under the Fair Trading Act. It alleges Jetstar's communications likely discouraged customers from seeking compensation for flight disruptions that were within the airline's control and the Commerce Commission said that Jetstar probably denied legitimate claims. Commerce Commission General Manager Competition, Fair Trading, and Credit, Vanessa Horne spoke to Lisa Owen.

This week the federal opposition suggested that perhaps Qantas should be forced to sell off its low-cost stablemate, Jetstar. This followed the recent release of the federal government's aviation white paper, which includes ideas on how to make flights cheaper, boost competition and hold airlines to account for delays and cancellations. Guardian Australia's political editor, Karen Middleton, talks with the minister for infrastructure, transport, regional development and local government, Catherine King, about her government's plans for wide-ranging aviation reform and whether travellers will get a better deal
