my son in law was due to fly from Adelaide to Brisbane for a job induction on Sunday morning..he was lucky enough to get a seat on another airline. What a dreadful mess for everyone :(

I saw it on the news this morning and was shocked that a company would just ground all the flights! What about the poor passenger's it's not their fault the airline's is in a mess. Have they offered any kind of compensation for the stuck travellers?

Glad to say the airline is back in the air and passengers are being processed as fast as possible.
