Abstract We consider one-loop five-point QCD amplitudes in next-to-multi-Regge kinematics, and evaluate the one-loop impact factor for the emission of two gluons. This is the last ingredient which is necessary to evaluate the gluon-jet impact factor at NNLO accuracy in α s . It is also the first instance in which loop-level QCD amplitudes are evaluated in next-to-multi-Regge kinematics, which requires to apply a different Reggeisation ansatz to each colour-ordered amplitude.
