There is a smaller and separate ‘Jetstar Japan’ (a bit more than a quarter of the fleet size) that is partly owned by Qantas along with JAL and some other groups (including Mitsubishi Corporation) but that airline only flies domestically in Japan and internationally to a few countries in the area (Hong Kong, Phillipines, China, Taiwan).
