JetStar glitch leaves 300 stranded for two days | NEWS.com.au
"ALMOST 300 Australian tourists were stranded at Honolulu airport for two days after a Jetstar plane broke down.
The budget-price airline angered passengers by refusing to organise a replacement aircraft.
Instead, they spent 48 hours trying to repair the jet's fuel system.
"We've spent two days in the airport being kept in limbo whilst the airline was trying to fix a problem that we didn't know existed or not," passenger Kim Auswild, from Bellevue Hill, said.
Jetstar said it had been unable to charter another aircraft or find seats for the stranded passengers.
The Hawaii debacle is a disaster for the low-fare airline's bid to be treated as a serious international carrier since it launched its overseas services in November."
