Due to maintenance and engineering issues, Jetstar’s long-haul fleet B787 is temporarily grounded, which has led to multiple cancellations that have significantly impacted thousands of customers’ international travel plans.
The Qantas-owned low-cost airline has cancelled eight roundtrip flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Bali as well as additional flights from Thailand and Japan since September 1. A week or more after their planned travel dates, some clients were still unable to arrange other flights home.
Over 180 customers whose flights to and from Bali were cancelled, according to Jetstar, had not yet taken substitute flights out of the Indonesian holiday island.
Nicole De Abel, a Brisbane resident, was scheduled to fly with her husband and two young children from Phuket, Thailand, to Sydney on Saturday night. However, when she arrived at the airport, she discovered the flight had been cancelled.
A 787 that was significantly harmed by a rare lightning strike on a flight from Melbourne to the Gold Coast on May 7 is one of the grounded planes.
The majority of the stranded passengers had access to enough lodging and food thanks to Jet Star Airlines. Jet Star will soon deploy more passenger alternative flights because there is still a problem that needs to be fixed.
