Jetstar flight from Adelaide to Bali is forced to turn back for gross reason

By LISA EDSER FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

A Jetstar flight to Bali was forced to turn back shortly after take-off due to broken toilets on board the airplane 

Flight JQ125 took off from Adelaide at 7.14am on Monday and did not even manage to leave South Australia before it was forced to turn back. 

The Jetstar plane landed back in Adelaide at 9.52am.

‘Yep, we’re on board. Had to turn back as toilets decided not to work,’ one passenger wrote on Facebook.

‘Just swapped planes and about to leave for second time.’

A Jetstar spokesman told Daily Mail Australia the onboard toilets had stopped flushing.

It is understood the problem couldn’t be fixed during the flight, forcing the plane to return to Adelaide for Jetstar engineers to look at the issue.

A replacement plane was arranged for passengers and it left Adelaide about 11am local time. 

The Jetstar spokesman said the passengers are ‘now well on their way’ to Denpasar.

‘They are due to arrive at 1:40pm local time,’ he said.
