Passengers on an international flight from Thailand have spent more than six hours stranded on the plane at Alice Springs Airport, after it was forced to land due to a passenger suffering a medical emergency.
Jetstar flight JQ30 was travelling from Bangkok to Melbourne when it was forced to land at the domestic airport at about 7.20am (ACST) on Sunday. While the aircraft was on the tarmac, an electrical fault was detected which a Jetstar spokesperson said required a replacement part to be sourced from Sydney.
