Ozjet Airlines Pty Ltd was a scheduled and charter airline with its head office in Tullamarine, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, operating within Australasia from Melbourne Airport, Sydney Airport and Perth Airport. In 2008 the airline was sold to HeavyLift Cargo Airlines, and on 20 May 2009 it suspended its last remaining operations from Perth. In June 2009, OzJet was purchased by the Strategic group. With the insolvency of Strategic Airlines on 17 February 2012 also OzJet ceased all operations and went as part of the mother company into administration. Administrator is the company KordaMentha.

The name Ozjet was first registered as a trademark to Peter Schott, a Metroliner pilot from New South Wales studying for his Masters of Business Administration at Swinburne University in Victoria in 2002. When the Minardi Formula One team owner Paul Stoddart (born in Coburg, Victoria) announced the idea of a "low-cost" domestic regional airline, Ausjet, a new company Ausjet Airlines Pty Ltd was created. Peter Schott and Paul Stoddart realised the potential of adopting the Ozjet name and did so.. In 2004 the original Ozjet Airlines Pty Ltd was deregistered and Ausjet Airlines Pty Ltd became Ozjet Airlines Pty Ltd. Peter Schott was initially the Chief operating officer, then replaced by David Blake in late 2005.
