Here's the rewrite.

Jetstar refutes reports of NZ and head office incidents | Plane Talking

While there is apparently nothing in any alleged 'raid' on the CPs office, there was clearly an incident on a SYD-CHC flight, the substance of which is as was alleged previously.

This is the fifth landing/ go-around config incident I can recall. Systemic issue?

Jetstar has refuted the reporting of an incident involving one of it jets which made a missed approach to Christchurch airport earlier this month and about an incident in its Melbourne head office which it says didn’t happen.

Plane Talking referred to the claimed Melbourne incident and also linked to a report concerning it in a different publication in an article on Saturday morning, and when Jetstar said it challenged the information and would reply in writing as to its particular concerns it was agreed that the article published here would be withdrawn ahead of that statement, which is published in full below.


[INSERT JETSTAR STATEMENT HERE]


The Jetstar statement doesn’t deal with ongoing concerns the writer has with a number of other incidents involving the airline which have been raised in ATSB reports and before Senate committees, but as a matter of fairness, and no doubt further argument those are matters for another day, and not in relation to a story in which key elements were wrong, as they were in the article which had been linked to in the Aviation Advertiser.

In a statement a CASA spokesman said:

Consistent with normal regulatory practice, Jetstar has reported a recent landing incident to CASA, and CASA is reviewing Jetstar’s investigation into the event.

On the completion of its review, CASA will ensure that any appropriate safety actions are taken.
Note the Jetstar statement is a jpg and didn't copy across. You'll have to follow the link to read that.
