Bird strike to Jet Star JQ81 DRWDPS at Darwin Airport

June 6, 2009

JQ81 DRWDPS made an emergency stop on the runway at DRW this evening due to bird strike to the l/h engine.
Taxied back to stand 5A and pax deplaned back to lounge where we are currently waiting. Unsure of rego but it is one of the new 320s with the large logo and new interior.

Aircraft is going nowhere in a hurry so an interesting time awaits. No spare in DRW so a long wait looms. Will be interesting to see what JQ
provide to pax in this situation……..
