Jetstar Price Beat:
if you find a flight with another airline or a Jetstar flight on an eligible third party website that's cheaper than you can get on jetstar.com, we'll beat it by 10%
Agreed. I have been stung twice by Tiger who cancelled my flights in recent times. Never again.
I have never had a cancellation from Jetstar.
It goes up and down but Jetstar had the lowest cancellation percentage of all airlines for 2017-18:

Departures on time were not great but Tiger is worse on both metrics.
An interesting read. As mentioned on that site, performances vary across different routes; perhaps I've just been unlucky or wrong place / wrong time. I witnessed a Jetstar flight where passengers had been 'delayed' >24 hours (LST to SYD) recently.
There are so many different views about airline performance measures:
- Departure on time:
I wonder if these are measured as push-back from the gate, or actual take-off?
As a passenger, I'm not too bothered when we leave, I just want to (safely) get where I paid to go and off the plane as quickly as possible.
I fly Jetstar 3-4 times a year. They were terrible, especially for international flights, before 2011-12 but they've improved a lot since then. It might not be a coincidence that my only cancellation since 2011 was LST too.
I think that both Tiger and Jetstar should rate their flights by 'potential for delay / cancellation'.
Or do they do that indirectly via their pricing model?
