Folks Were Trapped On A Jetstar Plane For 7 Hours After It Made An Emergency Landing In The NT

In today’s edition of Jetstar being Jetstar, passengers on a flight from Bangkok to Melbourne spent about seven hours stranded on the tarmac after the plane made an emergency landing at Alice Springs Airport. Nice. Cool. Great. Per the Sydney Morning Herald, Jetstar flight JQ30 was forced to land at about 7.20am Australian Central Standard Time on Sunday due to a passenger suffering a medical emergency about seven hours into the flight. An electrical fault was detected on the plane while it was on the tarmac and a replacement flight had to choof over to Alice Springs to collect the 320 folks onboard. The poor passengers weren’t allowed to leave the plane, however, because Alice Springs Airport doesn’t have customs processing facilities. “As a domestic airport, Alice Springs does not have customs processing facilities and we’ve been working with Border Agencies, the NT Police and the local Airport Authority on the best way to support customers until that replacement aircraft arrives,” a Jetstar spokesperson said on Sunday. How long were they stuck inside the plane, you ask? Why just seven or so hours. Two shakes of a lamb’s tail, really. As we know, the plane touched down at Alice Springs at about 7.20am.
