Ready to be the face of Jetstar?
Our Airport Crew are the heartbeat of Jetstar. The friendly faces who greet customers on the ground, you’ll love creating memorable airport experiences. You’ll be equally committed to safety, making sure things run smoothly and on time. Based at domestic and international airports throughout the Jetstar network, our Airport Crew are the guardians of compliance, looking after policies and procedures like customer service standards and check-in – also Customs, Immigration and Quarantine rules.
What you’ll do:
As a Cabin Baggage Officer, you’re the friendly face at the gate, helping keep our flights fair, safe and running on time. From chatting with passengers to weighing and tagging cabin bags, you’ll handle every interaction with confidence, care and a touch of Jetstar personality. You’ll work closely with your airport crew to keep things moving, manage payments where needed, and handle those trickier moments (like excess baggage) with professionalism and ease. All while, following safety standards, and keeping the experience positive for everyone heading off on their journey.
As a Customer Service Officer, you’re there from the very start of the journey - welcoming customers at check-in, helping them breeze through kiosks, and supporting them right through to boarding. Whether you’re processing bookings, assisting with disrupted flights, or reuniting someone with their bag, you know how to stay calm, helpful and solution focused. You’ll also lend a hand to passengers who need extra support, work closely with teams across the airport, and keep information flowing so every flight leaves smoothly. You’re quick on your feet, great with people, and take pride in turning travel moments, big or small, into positive experiences. No two days are the same, and that’s exactly how you like it!
You don’t need any aviation experience to apply. For us, travel and meeting new people go hand in hand so we welcome applications from all walks of life and service backgrounds.
