Page 6 of the Townsville Bulliten today. Also on ABC local radio yesterday.

I am sorry, but l can't get Bully link to work.
J* have been having a bad run out of Townsville recently.
This is the 3rd delay of more than 4 hours in the past 10 days.



"About 80 passengers were delayed for six hours in Townsville yesterday when their Jetstar flight to Sydney was grounded."

A faulty cargo door prevented the 9.30am flight to Sydney taking off until 3.46pm.
Ten customers accepted refunds or took an earlier flight where possible.

Jetstar communications spokesman Simon Westerway said the problem had caused major flight disruptions. "We have had major flight disruptions today and are aware that some customers are upset and angry at the long delay. We apologise to customers for that," he said.

Well, better to fly in a pressurised aircraft than one that it isn’t ;)

Perhaps the past delays were caused by the same aircraft and whatever was wrong was never properly fixed :-|

I can’t find any news story on google news recently to do with jetstar and Townsville.
