Unortunate , but not out of the ordinary.
For any engine guys is it likely it had a compressor stall at what is likely to be crz power?

The airplane returned to Adelaide for a safe landing on runway 23 about 30 minutes after takeoff. Emergency services reported after roll out, that no fire or smoke was visible. The airplane taxied to the apron with the emergency services in attendance.

if it went pop wth spark/fire it sounds like either a stall or a rotor failure "somewhere" in the powerplant.
Shutting down may have been necessary or precautionary depending on the reason.
My question remains is it likely a stall at relatively low revs at altitude.
Any V2500 engine rated LAME's care to comment?

Not sure what the outcome was but it was getting it's engine changed today so must have caused some damage.
If you push the extinguish switch I imagine that engine is going to have to come off for at least a clean.

Wing on fire causes Jetstar to amke an emergency landing in Darwin
It started with a loud explosion before the cabin began to shake violently during a Jetstar flight from Adelaide to Darwin on Monday evening. Up to 163 passengers were aboard the A320 aircraft and terror ensued when the starboard wing became engulfed in flames. According to first hand reports many passengers began to scream and a fire extinguisher had to be used inside the cabin.
Jetstar spokesman Simon Westaway confirmed yesterday the aircraft had experienced engine trouble just after take-off late on Monday night and was forced to shut down one of two engines. Emergency services were on standby at Adelaide airport when the plane turned around landed safely at 10.55pm.
Mr Westaway however denied the plane was on fire and the extinguisher was actually used for random sparks. The pilots also informed passengers of the situation and landed without further incident.
“The pilots remained in full control of the aircraft at all times and responded in accordance with training and procedures with aircraft systems acting as designated,” Mr Westaway said in a statement. The cause of the mechanical failure has yet to be ascertained.
Passengers were soon accommodated overnight in Adelaide and were confirmed on flights to Darwin with Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Blue on Tuesday.

LOL
what total crap this article is
LOL because I actually LAUGHED OUT LOUD when I read it
Please get it correct.
Headline says emergency landing in Darwin, story says emergency services were on standby in Adelaide when plane landed.
Darwin in WHERE THE PLANE WAS SCHELDULED TO OPERATE TOO
Adelaide is where is LEFT and LANDED.
There was NO fire inside of the cabin
Spakes from an engine malfunction NO NOT ENTER CABINS
One would have to wonder if Jill Walsh has ever travelled by air?
My sister was on the flight, she is a travel agent, she related the incident as being an engine out return to airport emergency. Just like the aircraft are designed to operate on one engine, and just how pilots are trained to handle the situation"
I wonder if they will publish it!
