I agree with Goat Whisperer, handled reasonably well.

Airlines, in a sense, are victims of the reliability of modern aircraft. The on-time performance approaching 90% for all Australian domestic operators tells us that significant delays are pretty rare. Add to that the ability of all trunk-line operators to move pax on the same day even if their flight is cancelled, and it is easy to see why people are surprised when it doesn't all pan out like that when something goes awry at a low frequency, relatively isolated port.

Then add the wonders of modern communication and a slow news week and you get stories like this one.

I don't think it is Jetstar specific, just the rub of the green.

Bit like the UA BNE diversion.
