Jetstar to Darwin

[thinking pilot]

Can anyone tell me why a Jetstar A320 was sitting on the tarmac at 0700 Tuesday morning in Darwin.

I believe they have just started their service to Darwin with a 0200 departure back to Melbourne.

[king oath]

You believe right. The last QF service direct to MEL was Monday morning.

Thinker, it could have been a delivery flight. Many of the new A320s have staged through DRW enroute to down south (YMML, YSWM, YSSY or where ever they get delivered to).

[thinking pilot]

CC you could be right.
Did Jetstar's 0200 flight out of Darwin depart this morning without problems.

[Capt Claret]

According to a story on ABC Darwin (105.7) it did.

While you’re in the park, don’t forget to bring the cards and a few mates.
