Qantas subsidiary Jetstar has had a difficult start in the island State, but its announcement of a temporary withdrawal of some services has been met with surprise and anger.
Jetstar will cut 30 flights between Hobart and Melbourne over the next 10 days and business and community representatives say the airline is undermining business and tourism confidence, as well as treating ordinary customers shabbily.

The 30min cut off time is going to drive people away! This even made primetime breakfast TV veiwing a few weeks ago with another story of someone missing their flight. Not very good publicity at all!

Jetstar have a rigid 30 minute cut-off for all flights.
Picture two young 18(?)year old girls crying their eyes out at Avalon, last week, having been denied boarding as they turned up 25 minutes before their Sydney departure losing both their seats AND their fares!!! They were forced to watch their aircraft depart with 20 empty seats and wait NINE HOURS with no refreshments or any staff in the ‘terminal’ for most of that time.
How does THAT work?
