The partnership between the Asia-based global hotel booking site and the Australia-based low cost carrier means that Agoda.com’s proprietary hotel inventory of thousands of hotels will be accessible through Jetstar’s website Jetstar.com.

And the two companies will also co-develop holiday packages, and specials to be offered via the Jetstar Holidays network.

Jetstar group chief commercial officer David Koczkar said in partnering with Agoda.com, Jetstar was continuing to effectively expand its brand and customer reach through its active interest in the external travel business. 

“Through such strategic partnerships Jetstar continues to offer our customers an expanded travel product that further drives revenue growth but importantly also complements our Pan Asian growth strategy.” 

Agoda.com, part of part of Nasdaq-listed priceline.com, has the reputation as the online travel agent with the widest hotel coverage and most extensive promotional inventory in the Asia Pacific region. Agoda.com is available in 32 different languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Bahasa Indonesia, and Bahasa Malay. 

President and CEO of Agoda Robert Rosenstein stated: “As two entities that have been focused on Asia Pacific destinations for much of the last decade, both Agoda and Jetstar have always been dedicated to getting travellers the best deals online. Working together, we hope to create even more compelling offers.” 

The partnership went live with a soft launch in March, allowing Jetstar’s Asia-based customers to access Agoda.com’s inventory online. The two companies plan to roll out more offerings in the coming months, including weekly deals that target key Asia Pacific destinations. 

Launched in 2004, Jetstar has carried over 90 million passengers and operates 2,400 weekly flights to 57 destinations in 14 countries across the Asia Pacific region.

In Asia, Jetstar operates over 1,000 weekly flights to 29 destinations including Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Osaka and Taipei and offers online booking services in six Asian languages.
