Note: I am not a fan of Jetstar, I avoid them at all costs.
Hire a couple of busses to transport people to appropriate accomodation within an hour of Airlie Beach. Even within 2 hours would be better then sleeping on the floor!
Charter Alliance to fly people home/to an airport where they could be connected to other Jetstar flights.
Fly a 717/737 from Brisbane/Sydney/Perth to pick the passengers up from PPP or Hamo. Every 717 sits on the ground from 10pm-5am every night and I’m sure around 50% of 73s do as well.
