Jetstar rejects claims it is the world's worst airline

Jetstar has hit back at claims it is the worst airline in the world and said the findings research by consumer watchdog Choice had no credibility. Data compiled by 11 consumer groups globally including Choice was released Saturday after 11,000 passengers who travelled in the past year gave feedback and scored the performance of 73 airlines. The findings showed Qantas was ranked as the best of the national carriers (ranking 36), ahead of Virgin Australia (51) and Jetstar came in last (73). A Jetstar spokesman criticised how the research was conducted and said it was not a fair indicator of all airlines. He said the data size of Jetstar passengers which included more than 100 respondents of the 11,000 overall was "around half the number of people we carry on one flight and a lot less than 34m customers who flew with us last year." <br/>
