Jetstar Reveals Growth Plans for New Japan Venture

Jetstar has revealed plans to attract another partner for its new Japan venture, the Jetstar Japan, adding up to the budget airline's present investors - Japan Airlines and trading firm Mitsubishi.

As part of Qantas', Jetstar's mother company, restructuring efforts for its ailing international services, Jetstar Japan is seen by the airline to beef up its regional strategy with focused on servicing flights within the world's third biggest economy.

Jetstar chief executive Bruce Buchanan told The Australian that the low-cost airline is considering two locations for its operational hub - Tokyo and Kansai.

From there, Buchanan said Jetstar Japan will service flights in and out of Sapporo, Fukuoka and Okinawa, with plans of adding more destinations in the immediate future, serving as the anchor of the company's pan-Asian expansion plans.

That growth plan, Buchanan said, is hoped to generate at least $2.5 billion in the near term.

For starters, however, Jetstar Japan needs to strengthen its current standing, which according to Buchanan carries a start-up capital of $150 million, with up to 24 aircrafts to support its initial Japanese service flights.

Jetstar has scheduled for flights to commence by the last quarter of 2012, with a specific target of generating $1 billion in total revenues over the next two years, The Australian wrote.

To ensure greater success for the new Qantas investment, Jetstar is looking for another investor that will be given half the 16 percent stakes currently maintained by Mitsubishi.

This fourth entity, Buchanan said, will enjoy equal voting rights with Jetstar, Japan Airlines and Mitsubishi.

Transactions have already commenced and barring any major glitches, a deal could be struck early next year, Buchanan said.

"It is not too far away. Once we knuckle through things, it will be three to four months," the Jetstar chief was quoted by The Australian as saying in hinting the possibility of a closed deal by early 2012.

"There are quite a few interested parties up there. It is a great time to get in at this stage for what we think will be an exciting opportunity. We want to ensure that the partner we bring on brings maximum strategic advantage for the business," Buchanan added.

Drones used against Japan's whaling fleet

SYDNEY?? Whaling opponents attempting to stop Japan's annual whale hunt in the Southern Ocean off Antarctica have deployed a new weapon: pilotless drone aircraft that have already spotted its whaling fleet.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, whose campaigns are showcased on the Discovery Channel's Animal Planet, said it located the Japanese factory ship Nisshin Maru off Australia's western coast on Saturday using the drones, the first time this season it has made contact with the whalers.

Other Japanese ships shielded the vessel "to allow it to escape" as the Sea Shepherd's Steve Irwin ship approached on Christmas Day, Sea Shepherd said in a statement.

"This time, however, the Japanese tactic of tailing the Steve Irwin and the Bob Barker will not work because the drones, one on the Steve Irwin and the other on the Bob Barker, can track and follow the Nisshin Maru and can relay the positions back to the Sea Shepherd ships," the group stated.

"We caught them due west of Perth," founder Paul Watson told Reuters by satellite phone from the Steve Irwin. "For the next few days we will be chasing them. We are heading south."

On Monday, Watson posted on the group's Facebook page that "The chase is on. Three Sea Shepherd ships and seven ships for the whaling fleet all bound for the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary on opposite missions."

Watson earlier said that the two drones are equipped with cameras and detection equipment and allow Sea Shepherd to monitor the whaling fleet from a distance.

"Thanks to these drones, we now have an advantage we have never had before ? eyes in the sky," Watson added.

Watson said Sea Shepherd's three ships were well outside Antarctic waters when the Japanese vessel was seen. The Sea Shepherd waited for the Nisshin Maru after hearing from fishermen it had sailed through the Lombok Strait in Indonesia on its voyage to Antarctic waters.

The Sea Shepherd society's annual attempts to stop the Japanese whale hunt by "direct action" have been widely criticized by Japan.

However, it also has influential supporters and the two drones were provided by two companies based in New Jersey.

An international moratorium on whaling has been in place since 1986, but Japan uses a provision that allows whaling for scientific purposes to justify its hunts and sale of whale meat to local markets.

Reuters contributed to this report.
