Jetstar Grounds Flights Due to Global Software Issue
Update: 2025-11-29
Description
Jetstar grounded dozens of planes due to global software issue, causing massive flight cancellations and stranding thousands of passengers. The problem was traced to a software upgrade that needed to be reversed, with each repair taking hours per aircraft. The grounding was triggered by an alert from Airbus, following a US JetBlue flight that made an emergency landing due to uncommanded altitude drop. Over six thousand aircraft worldwide were affected, with Australias aviation safety regulator confident that steps were being taken to minimize disruptions. Jetstar has stated they will contact customers directly if further flight disruptions occur.
