Jetstar says it was forced to cancel two flights between Darwin and Vietnam yesterday because the crew was needed on another plane.
Some of the 140 passengers affected have been redirected on flights through Singapore, while others were given a travel voucher and told to wait for the next flight tomorrow.
They were provided with hotel accommodation.
Jetstar described the problem as operational, saying it needed staff on another aircraft.
The budget airline would not provide further details.
It says the event is rare, with five such flights being cancelled in the last year.
