Jetstar Airways has been forced to cancel 90 flights scheduled for Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th December due to planned industrial action by the pilots.

More than 90% of the Australian Federation of Air Pilots (AFAP) Jetstar pilot members voted for four-hour stoppages this weekend.  

Pilots of Jetstar's narrowbody aircraft, which primarily serve domestic routes, will not operate flights from their home bases from 05:00 to 09:00 on both days, while pilots operating Boeing 787s on international routes will cease work between 14:30 and 18:30.

Jetstar expects around 80% of its flights to operate as scheduled. The airline says it has re-timed flights, upgauged aircraft and transferred some passengers to Qantas flights.

Passengers are advised to check the status of their flight to ensure they are not affected.
