Jetstar Australia Hit by Nationwide IT Outage, Passengers Stranded
Jetstar passengers across Australia faced significant disruptions today after a major IT outage crippled the airline’s check-in and boarding systems. The technical glitch, which lasted for about three hours, left many travelers stranded at airports, unable to check in for their flights. The issue also affected passengers in international locations, including Bali and Japan, adding to the frustration.
The outage was first acknowledged by Jetstar on social media, where a spokesperson confirmed that the airline was experiencing "technical difficulties." In response to a customer’s query on X (formerly Twitter), Jetstar assured passengers that their team was working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. However, the disruption led to long queues at airports and delays in departures, with two return flights ultimately being canceled.

For many travelers, the outage was a major inconvenience. Some passengers reported being stuck in long lines, while others expressed their frustration over missed connections and delays. While online check-in was still available in some cases, many travelers who relied on airport kiosks and staffed counters had no choice but to wait until the issue was resolved.
By Saturday afternoon, Jetstar confirmed that the IT problem had been fixed, and operations were gradually returning to normal. However, the airline warned that some flights might still experience residual delays. A spokesperson apologized for the inconvenience and thanked passengers for their patience.
This isn’t the first time an airline has been hit by a technical outage, but for budget travelers relying on Jetstar, it was an unexpected headache. As airlines continue to depend heavily on digital systems, such incidents highlight the vulnerabilities in modern aviation technology. For now, Jetstar is working to ensure that affected customers are informed and assisted as needed.
