Jetstar flight from Adelaide to Bali is forced to turn back for gross reason
A Jetstar flight to Bali was forced to return shortly after takeoff due to broken toilets on board the plane
Flight JQ125 took off from Adelaide at 7.14am on Monday and didn’t even manage to leave South Australia before being forced to turn back.
The Jetstar plane landed back in Adelaide at 9.52am.
‘Yes, we’re on board. I had to turn back because the toilets decided not to work,” one passenger wrote on Facebook.
“Just changed planes and about to take off for the second time.”
A Jetstar spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that the toilets on board had stopped flushing.
It is understood the problem could not be resolved during the flight, forcing the aircraft to return to Adelaide so Jetstar engineers could look at the problem.
A replacement aircraft was arranged for the passengers and it departed Adelaide at around 11am local time.
Jetstar’s spokesman said passengers were “now well on their way” to Denpasar.
“They will arrive at 1.40pm local time,” he said.
