Jetstar has it's first accident

JETSTAR has no plans to change its short turnaround times, despite an accident in Sydney that disrupted the travel plans of passengers in three states.
The incident on Monday left about 120 Sydney-bound passengers stranded on the Gold Coast overnight and caused an 80km detour yesterday for angry customers in Melbourne.
It comes with Jetstar already under fire for leaving behind passengers falling foul of its strict 30-minute check-in rules, and as the airline tries to convince Melburnians to use Avalon airport, near Geelong, for some flights.
The problems began when a Gold Coast-bound Boeing 717’s front entry door was damaged after it hit an aerobridge as the plane moved away from the terminal.
The damage caused the cancellation of a Gold Coast-Sydney flight the same night and meant about 120 passengers had to be accommodated overnight and put on flights yesterday morning.
The airline also cancelled a return Sydney-Avalon flight yesterday, causing angry passengers to drive or be bussed 80km to Tullamarine.
One passenger drove to Melbourne from Avalon after he was told about the cancellation. However, his return flight to Melbourne tonight was landing at Avalon, while his car was parked at Melbourne airport.
Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon said yesterday it was the kind of incident that happened “to just about every airline in the world”.
He did not accept the airline’s 25-minute turnaround time was to blame.
