Jetstar malfunction link to Air France Atlantic crash | Travel News | News.com.au
A JETSTAR plane may have last week suffered the same malfunction that brought down an Air France jet over the Atlantic, killing all on board, five months ago.
Australia's air safety regulators - the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority - are probing similarities between both incidents.
At 1.30am on October 29 the pilot of the Jetstar Airbus 330-200 reported an instrument blackout as the jet carrying 200 passengers passed through storm clouds midway between Japan and the Gold Coast, the Herald Sun reports.
