JETSTAR AIRBUS A321-251NX   VH-OFE (MSN 9540)

This morning, a Jetstar flight bound for Bali had to return to its origin after the toilets onboard malfunctioned. Flight JQ125, destined for Denpasar (DPS/WADD), took off from Adelaide Airport (ADL/YPAD) at 7 .13 am from runway 23 and was rerouted back to Adelaide 1 hour and 19 minutes into the journey. The aircraft landed back in Adelaide around 9:50 am. 

Mid-flight, the toilets ceased functioning and would not flush, a situation confirmed by Jetstar to the awaiting media. The issue with the toilets could not be resolved in the air, and passengers were notified that the flight would head back to Adelaide for engineers to rectify the problem.

A substitute aircraft was arranged for the passengers, and the subsequent flight left Adelaide at 11 am.

The passengers are expected to reach Denpasar at 1:40 pm local time.

The first original aircraft was an Airbus A321-251NX with the registration of VH-OFY (MSN 11410)

the second aircraft was also an Airbus A321-251NX with the registration of VH-OYD (MSN 11797)
