Jetstar Mishap in Adelaide
JQ452 Adelaide-Coolangatta
Fuel truck drives off without un-hooking and damages aircraft.
Punters who thought they were going to the Gold Coast are spending a night at the Hyatt Adelaide instead.

Surely that is a Shell/Mobil/BP/Caltex/JAFS (delete as applicable) mishap!

They are supposed to have interlocks fitted to the vehicle which prevents the vehicle from moving whilst the hoses are attached or not stowed correctly. Well Mobil ones do anyway.

If correct as stated its lucky no one was hurt, I have seen a video (CCTV) of an incident in Europe that ended in casualties, a fire on the tarmac and severe damage to the aircraft.
Guess we'll wait for the ATSB report..............not.....bet they haven't even been informed

???? Passengers accomodated at the Hyatt?????
I always thought Jetstar policy was, bad luck, you're on your own, sleep at the airport as long as they don't close it overnight.
Is this policy changing due to the new CEO of Qantas?
Didn't AJ say something like "Bad luck,it's a low cost carrier" to people that were stranded in Sydney several months ago.
What has happened since then??????
Or is Shell footing the bill?

Shazamm.
Clearly this event is not caused by JQ, we're just the ones who have to do the service recovery. Which has been done.
Clearly MR SHAZAMM or whatever he has called is not privy to information contained within the JQ service recovery standards.
Unfortunately JQ does more than the cretin media, (IE; WHATEVER SHAZAMM REPORTS, The Daily Telegraph or Today Tonight..) report
TID EDIT: Play nice, people.
A320 EDIT: Just to clarify

Tasdevil is correct, there is an interlock that's supposed to keep truck brakes engaged unless the coupling is firmly seated in its rack.
Shouldn't be any damage to the aircraft apart from replacing the dry break fitting which is designed to fail long before there is any damage to anything important.

No, must be some disinformation somewhere. Such thing can't happen in OZ; they have the highest safety stds in the world. It can only happen in some third world joint. You fellas must be badly mistaken.

A friend of mines dad is a fuel man & he mentioned that the interlock is capable of being over ridden in case of an emergency such as a fire & the rig needs to be removed from the scene connected or not. Faults he said are sometimes found in the system & then over ridden by the user. He mentioned that the same thing happened at Tulla in the mid 80's when a truck drove off with the hoses still connected to the wings under surface, lots of dollars latter the plane was fixed.

Yes there is the overide function, but why you would use it unless there was an emergency (thats what it is for) Saying that, the interlock may have not been working in the first place.
**** happens. But poor mistake if he just drove off & forgot about it.

Mobil Mishap
Howard Hughes..fair point! In that case its Mobils Mishap!
Thats probably why the "non-adelaide residents" were being put up at the Hyatt. Anyway I saw (& heard) many an unhappy passenger moping around complaining they were going to miss the 1st day of Splendour in the Grass!
PS. Haha def not a journo!
