The Boeing 787 was more than four hours into the flight when it was denied permission to land and forced to return to Melbourne
A Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Bali was forced to make a U-turn more than four hours into the flight and divert back to Melbourne after it was denied approval to land in Indonesia.
The budget carrier has blamed a “miscommunication” with the local regulator in Indonesia after the flight – which was already delayed by about five hours when it departed Tullamarine airport around 11pm Tuesday – was forced to turn around and return to the airport.
