Jetstar outage causes chaos across Australian airports

JETSTAR AIRBUS A320-232 VH-VGF (MSN 4497)   

Jetstar customers have once again faced long lines at check-in across Australia after the airline suffered another major system outage yesterday. This is the second time this has happened in less than a month. 

The carrier's check-in and bag-drop systems went offline on Thursday morning, forcing staff to manually enter traveller's details at the desk and process their luggage.

Long queues were reported at Melbourne Airport and it's understood several more facilities were affected by the outage across Australia.

A Jetstar spokesman said  "We would like to thank our customers for their understanding and patience as our teams worked hard to check them in manually for their flights."

The last time Jetstar faced a complete outage was on the 23rd February this year.
