    The FY2026 annual report, published page 20 (PDF page 22), reports the Jetstar Australia and New Zealand fleet at 30 June 2026: 50 A320-200, 6 A321-200, 25 A321LR, 5 A320neo and 11 B787-8 aircraft. Footnote 23 excludes Jetstar Japan and aircraft hired from Jetstar Japan for capacity. These are type totals and do not bind individual cabin variants. The first Jetstar A321XLR delivery is planned for FY2029.

    Type totals do not identify180/186 or335/325 cabin allocations, per-tail installation or current day-of-audit fleet. FY2029 plannedXLR timing supersedes the older2027 prediction; neither is evidence of current operation.

How this map was built

Historical topology: the July 2026 official booking extract records 314 Economy passenger positions and relative exit markers for the original 787; Business was not rendered. The separate published aircraft total is 335, comprising 21 Business and 314 Economy seats. Historical sales-kit evidence supports 21 Business seats in a 2-3-2 arrangement but does not publish the retained Business row numbers or seat letters. That historical Business illustration and its rows are explicitly marked derived; overall layout provenance is mixed. No replacement grid is invented. Structural aisle-access warnings are inferences from the published 2-3-2 arrangement, not photographed or measured positions. Unbound bulkhead attributes are withdrawn from the first Business and Economy rows, while Economy exit-row evidence is retained. Exact ExtraLegroom and Upfront seat allocations were not recorded; unsupported sale zones, assignments, premium flags and advantage ratings remain withdrawn. The FY2026 annual report lists 11 B787-8 aircraft as a combined type total; no count is assigned to either cabin variant. Fee scope: allSeatsPaidSelection refers to Starter advance selection; bundled fares may include Standard, Upfront or ExtraLegroom selection, and random check-in allocation is free. Current specifications were checked in the 1 October 2026 audit, but numbered topology was not freshly verified. At that audit the current booking endpoint was inaccessible and the official sales-kit endpoint returned 404. Individual-tail installation, current quantities for each cabin configuration, physical windows, pitch at each location and complete monument geometry remain unresolved. Domestic all-Economy marketing is confirmed, but exact domestic product assignment and sale numbering were not freshly captured. Exact exit hardware classifications remain outside the preserved extraction. Paired sides on retained exit markers are inferred schematic display conventions; the booking text supplies longitudinal relative markers without lateral side or hardware identification.

What changed

  1. Oct 3, 2026Independent final source review: corrected source bindings and clarified inferred paired exit-marker sides versus source-recorded longitudinal positions. Passenger positions and intentionally unallocated variant fleet counts are unchanged.
  2. Oct 3, 2026Independent source review: withdrew unsupported exact exit hardware class fields. Historical exit marker anchors and numbered passenger positions are unchanged; no current hardware or full physical certification is asserted.
  3. Oct 3, 2026Source-backed review: preserved all historical passenger positions and verification dates; clarified current specifications versus unresolved numbered geometry. Marked the unbound Business grid and rows derived, classified overall provenance as mixed, corrected the booking evidence to 314 Economy positions, and withdrew unbound bulkhead attributes.
  4. Oct 1, 2026Australia/NewZealand primary-source audit: FY2026 group type fleet inventory at30June2026, excludingJapan/capacityhire; Current primary aircraft capacity and carrier scope; Current selection products andStarter-only advance-selection fee scope; Current mixed-fleet refresh and amenity distinction; Published generic original787 product dimensions. No fresh numbered map: current booking endpoint is inaccessible and official sales-kit endpoint returned404. July2026 numbered booking extract remains historical evidence only. Per-tail installation, current per-configuration fleet quantities, physical windows, pitch per location, and complete monument geometry are not established by current pages. Domestic all-Economy marketing mode is confirmed, but neither domestic product assignment nor exact domestic seat-sale numbering is freshly captured. Exact seat-selection row/letter tier locations are absent from archived booking evidence; all unsupported sale zones, ExtraLegroom assignments/flags and good ratings withdrawn. Retained row attributes are historical/inferred, not freshly recertified.
